halifax are not being co-operative

My husband bought a house with his then wife in 1992. He left in 93, and signed everything over to her in the divorce. He thought it was all dealt with until 2002 when we started getting harrassing letters from Halifax's solicitors CIS. We were very naive, and scared at the prospect of going to court so we replied to ask what it was all about. (Silly, I now know!) Even though his ex-wife had tennants in the house paying rent for 4 years she failed to keep up the mortgage (despite having an very well paid job) and agreed to voluntary repossession in 1996. At no point had my husband been told about this until now. We have been arguing with Halifax for 2 years now and they refuse to contact his ex-wife regarding this. We served a SARN on them and all they sent was a dozen or so pages of computer printouts (most of them duplicated 3 or 4 times). There were no copies of corresspondance or even a copy of the mortgage deed even though they say they have sent letters to him repeatedly over the last few years. We then asked them for eveything else but we got a letter back today saying there was nothing else we could have because of the Data Protection Act. Surely if it's about him, he's entitled to see it? Where do we go from here? Please help, your advice has been so helpful to other forum users.
