Legal Question in Family Law in California

I was engaged to a man awhile back. At the time, he was in a tough spot financially due to recently having neck surgery. In an attempt to keep him from losing his car, I took his car loan into my name; I have much better credit, and was able to secure a lower monthly charge. In August 2015, he was offered a job 80 miles away. He called off the engagement and moved. We had agreed between ourselves that he would take his car loan back in October. As I write this on January 3, this loan is still under my name. Every time I ask him about it, I am told to wait "just a little longer." He does make his payments, but more than once I have had to cover to avoid late charges because he had to wait for his pay day; basically I made the monthly payment on time and used his late payment to reimburse myself, meaning I am down $180 for 1-2 weeks waiting for his payment. I don't even know where he is living (I do know the name of the company that hired him though)

Understandably, I want this loan removed from my name. Is there any legal action I can take against him?

Depending upon the value of the car, this sounds like a civil litigation action. Please meet with an experienced civil litigation attorney to assess your

legal options.
