Welcome to the board
Medicals have more things available than other types of collections.
For unpaid medical debt that is reporting on your CR:
1. Call the OC and see if you qualify for Charity Care
2. If not then ask that they recall the collection in exchange for full payment
3. Send the reporting CA a PFD offer
4. Google the HIPAA Process and contact its creator for help
as far as a PFD letter to another type of creditor here are the main threads you can take a look at to get an idea of how to word it

As for repo- same thing happened to me during a divorce, I even got an injunction against all 3 reporting agencies to remove it from my reports as we divided debts equally and I sent them a copy, they stated they weren't bound to my state's judgments. T/U removed it, but it remained on the other two. So my FICO remains affected. But that would be my only suggestion, seek legal remedy like an injunction if you can prove it's your husband's fault to stop reporting it as yours, but there is no guarantee, I think it depends on where you live.
