Yes, you can sue him, but you will still need to pay the cards off, even if he does not pay you, to preserve your credit.

First, be sure that you have the card re-issued with a different number. That will prevent any more charges. Then, you can sue. The amount involved will determine what court the suit should be brought in. If less than $3000, you can sue in Small Claims yourself.
