I suggest you look into your bankruptcy options. Bankruptcy wipes out most debt including credit card debt and other high interest unsecured debt. Bankruptcy awards the debtor a fresh start and a second chance to rebuild credit and financial wealth. Bankruptcy provides great relief for those honest but unfortunate debtors who are financially unable to payback their debts. Many bankruptcy attorneys offer free consultations. Take us up on it and receive some free advice.

You could sue him for the money he owes you and garnish his wages. You can also file bankruptcy, depending on your assets.

Your situation is very unfortunate. Certainly an option would be to sue him for the money he "borrowed" from you on your credit card, but a judgment is only good if you can collect the money - which might be very difficult under the circumstances of his lifestyle. I hope he no longer has access to your credit cards.

If you cannot make the payments on the card, or he will not provide money to you to assist you in paying the debt, you may need to consider a bankruptcy. I urge you to talk with a bankruptcy attorney in your area. Some of us offer half hour no charge consultations - at least you will be able to get some initial information about the possibility of filing bankruptcy. A lesson learned - I hope. Good luck.

I'm sorry for your circumstances which sound stressful and frustrating, you are certainly not alone.

You could spend a lot of time energy and money obtaining a judgment and trying to collect the judgment from someone without succeeding.

You might be eligible for a bankruptcy discharge of some or all of the debt that you owe on your credit cards.

You should consult with an experienced bankruptcy attorney who will review the charges on your accounts and help you determine how best to proceed.
