Re: Need some housing advice.
That is easily changed. Write to the mortgage company and ask them to set up a new direct debit in your name, at least then you can keep control of the payments. They will be happy that someone else is taking responsibility. However, at this stage, you have no legal recourse to force him to pay anything towards the mortgage. You really need to consult a solicitor to help with your attempt to buy him out.

This is perhaps a salutary tale (if not a pointless observation), about sharing property and not setting it up as tenancy-in-common and ignoring the possibility that someone won't stand up to their end of the bargain.
