Monica Garcia is back in the news again according to recent reports. The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City alum found herself back in the public eye after being sued for over $9k. This news comes on the heels of other legal issues that the former Bravolebrity has had.
Notably, Monica was recently ordered to pay $35,000 to former costar Heather Gay’s establishment, Beauty Lab + Laser. She is currently appealing the decision. And now, the RHOSLC alum has another lawsuit to deal with. This time, it has to do with car payments.
Monica Garcia’s car payments…
According to The U.S. Sun, APG Financial, Inc. initiated a lawsuit over the lease of Monica’s 2018 Cadillac XT5. The RHOSLC alum was served papers on November 23, 2024, on the matter.
APG Financial claimed that Monica signed a lease agreement on July 22, 2023. In the contract, she was to pay $473.95 every two weeks.
The lawsuit alleges that the RHOSLC alum “defaulted under the Lease Agreement by failing to make the monthly payments as required under the Lease Agreement, and causing the early termination of the Lease Agreement.”
Further, there was a complaint that Monica “caused physical damage and excessive wear and tear to the Vehicle.” The contract put the onus on Monica for the “repair and reconditioning expenses.”
Monica is being sued by APG Financial for $9,322.87. That includes $1,511.85 in missed lease payments and late fees. There is an early termination fee of $3,338.70. As previously mentioned, excessive wear-and-tear to the vehicle would incur repair and reconditioning costs. In this case, total repairs are $3,972.32. Finally, APG is counting repossession costs totaling $500.
APG Financial will charge an interest rate of 18 percent annually until paid off. Finally, there is the issue of attorney fees of $350 that the company wants to be reimbursed.
Monica’s legal team has not yet made any response or acknowledgment of these claims.
