An attorney will need to evaluate your case. Prepare a clear and concise statement of the facts and organize your evidence to present to attorneys. Attorneys need evidence they can see, not mere allegations.

He went into debt for a major repair, and didn't consult me first. I would never have agreed to this insane price. He wants me to make half of the payments. My name is not on the construction agreement, nor the loan. Do I legally have to pay?

This seems like a scam, but I don't know. I am guessing an UNKNOWN "person sent [you] a check to pay [you] credit as a reference." It seems shady all the way around. Be prepared for threats and blackmail.

Feel free to consult with an attorney or check with California AG's Office.
