VA mortgage Loan modification,collection,foreclosure North Carolina

Per my divorce agreement, my former spouse was responsible for all debt including the mortgage. I gave him the quickclaim deed like I was required to do. Instead of putting the mortage in his name as required by our paperwork, he filed for bankruptcy. The mortgage company included me in on the bankruptcy and negatively reported me to the credit bureaus. I feel this is unfair. I did not file for bankruptcy, sign as bankruptcy paperwork and when I called the mortage company to explain the situation, I was told there was nothing I could do about it. I spoke with a lawyer and he informed me that Federal Law trumps Family Law, so I could only hope the bank did n't come after me for his debt even though he was responsible for paying that debt. The result was the Mortage Company discharge the loan and negatively reported me. My credit score dipped down to - after this happened. I have worked very hard to bring my score up. I feel since I can prove through my divorce papers that my ex was responsible for payment of the loan, the incorrect information should be retracted from my credit report. Why is there no protection for the spouse who does what is lawfully required of her, but the other spouse can max out every card, buy a new truck and then just quit paying his home loan and get away with it? I pay the price of not being able to buy my own house, a car, and/or secure a higher paying job because my low credit score dings on a background check for employment?
