Uncle Used Credit Card With Permission. Isnt Paying Back

Card image cap

When I (Ohio) got off active duty military, my uncle (Florida) said he needed money for a hotel and that he had legal things going on. This was back in June 2022. Location: me:ohio him:florida

He borrowed about 10k in hotel fees on my credit card and just gives excuse after excuse saying that he is in a legal battle and is supposed to get a huge payout as they have won the case but is now giving excuses on how they haven't gotten paid the money yet (back in January is when they won supposedly)

I am asking for contact information to verify legality and they are dragging their feet to provide. My question: is there a way i can contact the court system for his county and confirm the case or would that information be private? Second: being from another state and having permission to use the credit card granted he paid me back, can i even take legal matter for the money?

I am very nice and wanted to give him the time and patience and being retired military, i never would expect him to screw me but it's been severely hurting my finances and credit trying to keep up with these payments the last 3.5 years and the excuses are getting insane. I just want to verify the case and take action if I can verify it's fake.
