JPMorgan Chase Bank is suing former Chicago Democrat Mayor Lori Lightfoot for letting her $11K credit card bill go unpaid for 17 months.

The media has learned that Lightfoot, who became the first Democrat Chicago Mayor not reelected to city hall in about 40 years, was served with a subpoena at her $900,000 Chicago home in October, the Chicago Tribune reports.

Chase ultimately decided in March that her $11,000 bill would be a charge-off, but her last payment of $5,000 on the debt was made on August 7, 2024, according to the bank’s records.

Lightfoot seems to be struggling to pay her bills despite claiming $402,414 in adjusted gross income in 2021 alone.

Good grief, she wasn't even paying for her own haircuts, the city was.

I expect the race card to be pulled soon.

LOL. The jokes write themselves. She’s a Democrat who is no longer in power. No one is going to let her slide or pay it for her anymore.

You can’t expect someone in the political class to be burdened with such plebeian things as bills.

Typical socialist/communist. Always wanting someone else to pay.

Would be funny if she couldn’t get a credit card because of this. Imagine the powerful ex-mayor of a major US City not having a credit card.

She is probably used to everyone else paying for her.

While working as a partner at law firm Mayer Brown before becoming mayor, Lightfoot reported an average adjusted gross income of $971,626 from 2014 through 2017.

Yes democrats are born with the idea it’s the obligation of others to pay their way through life.

There is something going on if she can't pay off a $12K CC balance. Maybe she is toxic and can't get a high flying job again...

She can no longer ride on the grifter gravy train. Being voted out office means she now has ZERO political clout to cash in on.

I saw this a lot when pulling credit reports as a loan officer. The low credit scores are indicative of poor fiscal habits. When I saw write offs on the CS, it was treated as a bankruptcy.
