‘RHOA’ Kim Zolciak Taken To Court Over Target Card Balance
Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak is being taken to court over her Target credit card balance. This comes as Kim’s overall debt total reaches more than $1 million and she struggles to sell her Atlanta home. Keep reading for the details about the lawsuit and how the RHOA star ended up in this legal battle.
Kim Zolciak Is Ordered To Pay Her Target Card Balance
She was initially sued by Target National Bank in June 2023 for $2,482.24. However, Kim refused to settle the bill and the issue was further escalated to a court in Georgia.
“[Target] has made demand upon the Defendant for payment, but [Zolciak] has failed, neglected, and refused to make payment upon the account to the Plaintiff,” the lawsuit read. According to the suit, the RHOA star opened the Target card account in 2007 and was always on time with payments until she stopped paying altogether in 2022.

The last payment received was in the amount of $500 on September 17, 2022. Even though she was served with legal paperwork, she blew the lawsuit off. This forced the court to enter a default judgment.
Court documents have revealed that a Georgia judge ordered Kim Zolciak to pay $2,613.38 for the debt owed to Target. The court order comes as financial hardships continue to pile up for the former Real Housewives star.
Kim & Kroy Face $1+ Million In Tax Liens, Foreclosure, And Homelessness
The $2,600 debt is nothing compared to the $1.1 million tax lien that Kim Zolciak and her estranged husband Kroy Biermann are currently facing. The lien states that the couple owes $103,564.48 for 2013, $330,126.29 for 2017, and $714,143.90 for 2018.
To settle the federal tax lien, Kim and Kroy have been attempting to offload their mansion in Alpharetta, Georgia. This is the only asset they have to sell in order to settle the lien. However, the 7-bedroom, 9-bathroom, 9,500-square-foot home has proven to be hard to sell. They decreased the asking price by $1 million, bringing it down to $5 million.

The pair sued Truist Bank to stop foreclosure proceedings on the home, citing that doing so would cause their family significant harm. Kim Zolciak told the court, “I am writing this affidavit today with a sense of urgency and a sincere request for your understanding and assistance in a matter of great importance to my family.”
She said that she believed “that the proceeds from its sale can help alleviate our financial difficulties and secure a stable future for our children. However, the impending threat of foreclosure is looming over us, and time is of the essence.” Additionally, she said the foreclosure of the home would leave her children homeless.
Truist Bank said that it planned to proceed with the foreclosure if they did not come up with the money promptly.
