You can sue just about anyone for just about anything. Talk to lawyer first, get a free consultation.

Above is true, generally but: But you seem to not understand - Its not just "Your" name on "their" loan. Its' both of your names on a loan to both of you! Yup, it's your too. You agreed, in writing. You also agreed that you each would pay it back to the lender. You probably swore to the lender that you understood and were actually expecting to be responsible for the loan...not just lending your "name". That the bank wanted someone (more responsible) on the loan too, is exactly why you were put on it! Now, if you have a written agreement that shows the other party was supposed to pay it all (or some portion), and hopefully it doesn't contradict what you swore to the lender (that would be a bad, maybe criminal thing), you can sue for the damages you incurred with that as proof...but otherwise, the courts will only have the loan agreement, where you swore you would pay it...so how you going to prove the non-payer had to pay you? Verbal agreements, especially contrary to legal written ones, are not going to be easy to enforce. Then of course, one other problem: If the other party isn't paying, even though you (and probably the bank) is trying to get them to....after you put out all the costs of suing, even if you win...how or why do you think they can or will pay you then?

What should I do if I have difficulty paying my monthly loan payments paying his credit card bills?

If the loan payments are in your name only, then you need to bring up the need for him to pay you back. Certainly, if there is no sympathy or money contribution immediately coming, it is going to affect your relationship. Sometimes we want to be helpful, and the other person takes advantage. All you can do is shut down the help you have been giving him.
