Ex- ‘RHOA’ Star Kim Zolciak-Biermann Ordered To Pay American Express $215K Over Credit Card Debt

It looks like Kim Zolciak-Biermann’s financial woes are finally being revealed.

According to RadarOnline, Kim Zolciak-Biermann was ordered to pay American Express $215k after blowing off a lawsuit that accused her of refusing to pay her credit card bill.

According to court documents, back in November 2018, Kim was sued by American Express National Bank in Georgia court. The suit said that Zolciak had refused to pay a $215,925.90 bill despite numerous demands.

The suit read,

“[Zolciak] agreed to pay and was obligated to pay [American Express] for all extended credit on [Zolciak’s] account.”

American Express became frustrated with waiting for Zolciak to pay up, and decided to move forward with the suit. Court records show Kim’s husband Kroy Biermann was served with the legal papers at their Alpharetta, Georgia home on February 19, 2018.

Despite being served, Kim Zolciak ignored the lawsuit and didn’t bother to show up to court. As a result, the judge granted American Express’ motion for a default judgment on May 9, 2019. The court ordered Zolciak to pay $215,822.68 in damages.

Now, years later, the credit card company is still attempting to collect on the debt.

In early 2020, American Express delivered paperwork to garnish Kim’s bank account at Suntrust Bank. At the time, the credit card company said Kim had failed to pay off the debt, resulting in the amount owed growing (with interest and other costs) to $216k. American Express instructed Suntrust Bank to hold all money, including wages, and other property that were being held by Zolciak in any accounts. Suntrust Bank responded in February 2020 and told American Express that Zolciak had no assets held with them.

As of September 2021, American Express was still firing off subpoenas to various third parties attempting to collect on the expensive debt.

As previously reported, Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann are now facing foreclosure on their home. The couple’s home is set to hit the auction block after Truist Bank hired a lawyer to start foreclosure proceedings. The home is set to be auctioned off on March 7 to the highest bidder.
