Kim Zolciak must now officially pay off the modest balance she has accumulated on her Target credit card after a judge ruled in favor of the retail giant’s financial institution.
TMZ reports that Zolciak, 46, was ordered to pay the $2,482.24 balance on his Target credit card. She must also pay more than $100 in court fees.
Target National Bank filed a lawsuit against Zolciak last year because they were seeking a refund for the card.
It appears Zolciak never responded to the filing, as a Georgia judge ended up issuing a default judgment.
The judge made the decision in March, ruling in favor of Target National Bank, the institution that handles the store’s credit cards.
Kim Zolciak must now officially pay off the modest balance she has accumulated on her Target credit card after a judge ruled in favor of the retail giant’s financial institution.
Target first filed a lawsuit against Zolciak last year because they were seeking a refund for the card.
Kim reportedly stopped making payments with her card in 2022, TMZ reported last year.
Kim was last said to have made a payment in September 2022 for $500. She reportedly first opened it in 2007.
Legal documents obtained by TMZ at the time show that Target demanded Kim make payments, however, she was unable to pay off the debt.
The retail giant was seeking the entire unpaid balance and interest.
It’s just the latest financial headache Kim is facing, which includes the $4.5 million mansion in Georgia that she and her ex-husband, Kroy Biermann, have been trying to sell amid impending foreclosure.
In the latest update on the house, the former couple managed to temporarily delay foreclosure on the mansion after reaching an agreement with their bank, buying time as they look to sell the luxurious residence.
Truist Bank, the duo’s lender, has agreed to halt foreclosure proceedings on the home for the next 90 days, according to court documents recently obtained by TMZ.
This allows the ex-couple to sell the house without losing it to the bank.
In the event that the duo is unable to sell the residence and pay Truist Bank by August 26, the bank may restart the foreclosure.
The documents also state that the former couple will not be able to stop a potential foreclosure if they cannot pay the bank by the deadline.

The mansion in Milton, Georgia, where the former couple has been involved in drama
The former couple announced their divorce last year and their financial problems have been in the headlines for some time.
His problems have long included his Georgia mansion, which has been on the brink of foreclosure for some time.
Kim and Kroy put the mansion on the market for $6,000,000 in October 2023.
The couple purchased the home for $880,000, meaning they were set to make a profit if the home sold at the asking price.
At that time, the residence was scheduled to be foreclosed on in November.
The house suffered several price drops and in January they reduced the asking price to $4.5 million.
But the couple still hasn’t managed to sell it, and in April Truist Bank issued a foreclosure warning unless legal action was taken, according to TMZ.
Lawyers for Truist Bank set a date to reclaim ownership of the couple’s mansion in Milton, Georgia, after they defaulted on the mortgage in January.
Domestic drama ensued when a judge ordered Kim to live in the basement of Georgia’s home amid the ugly divorce battle.

In an attempt to keep the peace while the couple still shares a home, the judge ruled that Kim will stay in the basement/nanny’s room, while the former NFL star will be upstairs in the master bedroom.
“Neither party will enter the space assigned individually to the other party in the marital residence without permission,” the documents read, according to the outlet.
However, Kim and Kroy were allowed to roam freely in the common areas, such as the kitchen and living room, in the seven-bedroom, 11-bathroom home, which they purchased in 2012 for $880,000.
The judge also ordered the couple to act civilly towards each other in an effort to protect the couple’s four young children: Kroy ‘KJ’, 13, Kash, 11, and twins Kaia and Kane, 10.
The former couple has been embroiled in financial and legal trouble since announcing their divorce last year, and the Georgia mansion has been on the brink of foreclosure for some time.
The mansion, built in 2008, is situated on a golf course and features a number of amenities, including a backyard pool, gym, movie theater, bar, wine cellar, and game room.
“Neither parent will disparage the other in the presence or within earshot of the minor children,” the documents read.
Another stipulation stated that neither parent is allowed to listen to the time the other parent spends with the children, and the children cannot be used as messengers between the parents.
Kroy had also legally adopted Kim’s two daughters from a previous relationship: Brielle, 27, and Ariana, 22.
Drama has surrounded the couple’s home in the past, such as the fake sale of the property for $3.2 million in April.
