‘RHOA’ Star Kelli Ferrell Sued Over Nearly $30,000 In Credit Card Debt

Kelli Ferrell is facing drama off camera.

The RHOA newbie has been sued by Navy Federal Credit Union, who claims she owes $26,434 in credit card debt.

The lawsuit, obtained by Us Weekly, alleged the reality star and entrepreneur “has failed, neglected and refused to make payment upon the account.”

The bank wants the balance she allegedly owes plus attorney fees.

However, Kelli’s team attempted to set the record straight and told the outlet that Kelli and her former husband, Chuvalo Mark Ferrell, shared the delinquent account. They also pointed to Mark’s bankruptcy issue as a factor.

“Kelli has not been served with any paperwork from Navy Federal Credit Union, which is an account that was shared with her now ex-husband. Due to her ex-husband currently being in the middle of bankruptcy proceedings, we cannot comment on this matter.”

Still, Mark is also speaking out, with his rep telling Us Weekly:

“[Chuvalo] was removed from all joint and business accounts — including those with Navy Federal Credit Union and Truist Bank — during the divorce proceedings in 2022. He has no knowledge of any loans or transactions initiated by [Kelli] after his removal from those accounts.”

“The current legal dispute between Navy Federal Credit Union and Ms. Kelli A. Ferrell is strictly between those two parties. [Chuvalo] is not named in the lawsuit and has had no involvement in the matter.”

“We find it deeply troubling that [Chuvalo’s] name continues to be invoked in matters to which he has no connection. This pattern of blame-shifting — three years post-separation and divorce — appears designed to divert public scrutiny from Ms. Ferrell’s financial difficulties.”

Kelli’s latest legal woes come about three months after she was sued for $101,000 by her restaurant Nana Chicken-N-Waffles’ landlord for alleged unpaid rent and related fees.
