A debt collector sued Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kelli Ferrell over a credit card bill worth just over $26,000.
Navy Federal Credit Union filed a complaint against the reality star claiming she owes them a total of $26,434.86 and that she “has failed, neglected and refused to make payment upon the account.”
The suit demanded the entire unpaid balance plus attorney fees.
Speaking to US Weekly, Kelli’s team seemingly pointed the finger at her ex-husband, Chuvalo Mark Ferrell.
“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 [Chuvalo Mark Ferrell]. Due to her ex-husband currently being in the middle of bankruptcy proceedings, we cannot comment on this matter.”
However, according to Chuvalo’s representative, he claims that he was removed from all joint and business accounts during their divorce proceedings in 2022 and that he has “no knowledge” of any loans or transactions initiated by his estranged wife.
“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,” the rep added.
“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,” the rep ended.
RHOA viewers were quick to point out that Kelli was one of the main cast members giving Brit Eady a hard time for her tiny charitable donation, knowing she is in major debt.
