TORI Spelling has finally settled her $87,000 credit card debt after the bank demanded the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Office force the star to pay up.
Tori, 49, was sued by American Express Centurion Bank for unpaid credit card bills in the amount of $87,594.55 in October 2016.

The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal the lien was officially released by Los Angeles Courts in April 2022, meaning the debt has been paid off.
This came after the bank filed a series of writ of executions, requesting the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Office enforce she pay the judgment.
The most recent writ of execution was just days before the lien was released.
Also in 2016, American Express Bank sued Tori in a separate lawsuit for $38,318.58.
In the documents filed on October 20, 2021, the Sheriff was “instructed” to “execute garnishment” to withhold her earnings from Entertainment Partners, a payroll company.
But the order was “ineffective,” as Tori “does not work at this place of employment.”
There have been no additional filings in the case.
MORE FINANCIAL TROUBLE
In another lawsuit, the mom of five was ordered to pay Cavalry SPV I, a debt-buying company on behalf of Citibank, $5,054.32 for an unpaid credit card bill in September 2018.

Cavalry SPV I filed a Writ of Execution of a Money Judgement on February 3, 2021 for the amount of $6,394.30, which includes interest and fees.
The company requested the Los Angeles Sheriff or Marshall’s Office “enforce” the actress to pay the judgment, court papers obtained from Los Angeles Superior Court claimed.
The U.S. Sun also reported The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office was directed by Cavalry SPV I to “enforce the judgment” against them, $5,506.94 at the time, in December 2019.
In yet another lawsuit, City National Bank sued Tori and her husband Dean McDermott, who share five children together, for failing to pay back a $400,000 loan.
They were ordered to pay a judgment of $202,066 in May 2017.
The bank later claimed they never paid and a bench warrant was issued after she failed to appear in court.
The warrant was dissolved in April 2019 and the case has had no further updates.
CAREER BACK ON TRACK?
While Tori’s career has struggled in the past, as her BH90210 reboot was canceled after only one season, she is back on the small screen.
Tori currently stars on MTV’s Messyness alongside Jersey Shore’s Nicole Polizzi, former figure skater Adam Rippon and comedian Teddy Ray.
DIVORCE RUMORS
Tori and Dean, 56, have faced divorce rumors since last year, as she was spotted without her wedding ring and rarely seen with her husband.
The U.S. Sun previously reported last year: “Tori and Dean are totally stuck together right now. Neither of them can afford to go through divorce proceedings.
“They have five kids and a ton of pets. Their home is always a disaster- it’s just a total mess.”
The insider added: “Right now divorce isn’t on the horizon because they can’t swing it financially. They are in a living nightmare.”
But they appeared to have reconciled, as the stars posted together for the first time in months in August 2022.
Since then, they have been active on each other’s social media pages.
They even appeared together in a family Christmas card with their children.
