Default Room Mate failing to pay the bills...

Background:

I moved into my apartment in august with my two roommates, everything was great but because i was the only one with credit i had the bills put into my name. We are all on the lease but i'm the only one with the bills in my name. So thinking that my one roommate was on the up and up i went ahead and was like everyone pay me and i'll pay the bills. Well months later down the road he decided he doesnt like the way i "act" so in order to "fuck with me (his words)" he's not going to pay his portion of the bills. i suppose that he though i needed his portion (i dont i'm smart enough to save to cover everyone's ass in the house).

My question is if this behavior continues do i have a legal leg to stand on? Say i wanted to take him to court to get the money he owes me? I've heard that i dont because nothing was put into writing but i've also heard because there was an oral agreement made between us 3 and he is failing to hold up his end that i do have one.

input is appreciated and trust me this is a lesson learned
