What is the name of your state? Florida

I have 2 roommates that I signed a lease with and it ends this month. Some of my rent checks have bounced and we just became aware that even though it was me, my roommates' credit is also affected. Can they take me to court and sue me for this? Is there anything I can do to take sole responsibility and redeem their credit?

Unlikely... but yes, they can sue you claiming that your conduct has defamed their credit.

Presumably, you can contact the reportee (landlord?) and see if he/she will remove their names from the report.
