‘Discrimination’ claims
Despite Katie’s significant tax debt of over £750,000 being cleared this year, she has been hit by the consequences of her two bankruptcies.
After moving out of Mucky Mansion, the mum-of-five revealed last week that she has struggled to find somewhere to live.
She has claimed estate agents held a “black mark” against her name due to her well-known finances. Katie said she would receive calls from agents explaining properties had been rented to someone else after she expressed interest, yet claims they were still up for rent.
Speaking on the Katie Price Show podcast, Katie said: “I love it how I have gone through all what I have because I will get there again.
“I just have a problem with when you have been in a bankruptcy, you just can’t get anything. It is so annoying because I earn such good money. I earn, like I did back in the day, really good money but it makes no difference if you earn the money.”
She explained: “Once you get that black mark against your name, there’s nothing you can do. Even when I go to rent a house, as soon as they know its my name, it is discrimination.
“They are like ‘Oh no, no’ and I am like ‘Oh is it because of what you’ve read?’. Does it really matter, I have got the money and I can pay upfront. It’s the name that puts people off and it’s such discrimination.”
