Kim Zolciak Threatened with Wage Garnishment as Her Financial Crisis Hits Rock Bottom!
Kim Zolciak Threatened with Wage Garnishment as Her Financial Crisis Hits Rock Bottom!
Kim Zolciak, former Real Housewives of Atlanta star, is facing more financial troubles as reports reveal her wages may soon be garnished due to unpaid debts.
According to In Touch, American Express filed a lawsuit against Kim over a six-figure credit card balance dating back to 2018. Court records show that the credit card company secured a default judgment against Kim in 2019, awarding them $215,822.
Despite the court ruling, sources claim she has not made any payments toward the outstanding amount in the past five years. To recover the debt, American Express has now involved Truist Bank, where Kim reportedly holds accounts linked to her former mortgage.
Legal documents reveal that the bank was summoned to identify her financial assets and “hold all money, including wages, and other property, except what is known to be exempt.” This legal maneuver could mean garnished wages or seized funds if any assets are found under Kim’s name.
This isn’t the first time Zolciak has faced lawsuits over unpaid credit cards. In 2022, Bank of America sued her over a $50,000 debt. She was also reported to have left a substantial balance on a Target credit card.
Kim Zolciak’s financial troubles have been exacerbated by her alleged gambling habits. In 2014, she admitted to losing approximately $250,000 during a trip to the Bahamas.
Her estranged husband, Kroy Biermann, has accused her of spending substantial time and marital funds on gambling, which he claims has financially devastated their family.
Kroy’s legal filings suggest that Kim’s gambling compulsion has led to significant financial strain, contributing to their ongoing legal and financial issues.
With Truist Bank given just 15 days to respond, the reality star’s financial troubles appear far from over. Representatives for Kim have not yet commented on the legal developments.
