Double bankrupt Katie Price reveals Mucky Mansion was raided by bailiffs THREE times and fears she’s being targeted
KATIE Price revealed bailiffs turned up at her Mucky Mansion at least three times before she was evicted over an unpaid £760k tax bill.
The 46-year-old told how she felt a deep sense of unease at the unexpected visits from debt collectors in her new memoir.
She accused them of “exerting a physical presence” that intimidated her and felt she had no choice but to “surrender” to them.
In an extract published by the Mail, she writes: “The second or third time they came, one of them was a real bully. He presented me with an unpaid fine for using the Dartford Crossing. ‘I don’t have a car! I don’t drive! I don’t even have a driving licence!’ I said.
“But then he became aggressive. Bullying. He tried to intimidate me and said, ‘We aren’t taking anything. We know you can pay it.'”
Katie explained how an ex-boyfriend was responsible for the fine, driving a car that was still registered in her name.
She said each visit was from a different company and joked they colluded to visit her house as she was an easy target.
“Do bailiffs try their luck?” Katie asked. “Is there a secret WhatsApp group that they are part of, where they say to each other, ‘Katie Price is worth a try, we got a truckload of goods from her last time we went,’ followed by a laughing emoji or something?”
However, she admitted they weren’t all bad and one set of bailiffs took the time to explain everything nicely to her over a cup of tea.
Last month at least 10 officials turned up to her old £2million Horsham property.
Katie was in Brussels, Belgium at the time having her 17th boob surgery when five vehicles, including a Ford Transit van, pulled up at the Sussex pad.
The bailiffs were joined by security staff, who are believed to have been used to guard the site.
Officials were inside for nearly an hour before leaving, and keys were retrieved by the mortgage lender.
The property had sat derelict since the mum-of-five was handed an eviction order earlier in the year.
Katie, who was once allegedly worth £45million, was declared bankrupt for a second time in March.
At one point, her debts were reported to be an eye-watering £3.2million.
Earlier this year she was told 40 percent of her OnlyFans earnings for the next three years would go towards paying off her debts.
Katie Price's missing millions
At the peak of her career Katie had an estimated fortune of £45m, thanks to her lucrative modelling career, book deals, and TV appearances.
The cash-strapped mum-of-five was first declared bankrupt in 2019 over unpaid debts of £3.2 million.
In a podcast interview earlier this year she blamed her exes who include Peter Andre, Alex Reid and Kieran Hayler and lawyers for her money woes.
She insisted that funding her exes’ lavish lifestyles with cars, watches, luxury holidays and homes left her finances in tatters.
She added: “I went through a breakdown, this is how mine started – lawyers and exes, that is my bankruptcy thing.
“And obviously a bit of HMRC.
“When I had my breakdown, if anyone has been depressed …. I don’t know if you’ve ever had depression…
“It starts with depression and you just want to sleep all day and not talk to anyone, the phone would ring and you wouldn’t answer it.’
Katie was declared bankrupt for a second time in March over an unpaid tax bill of £761,994.05.
The demand for payment was made by HMRC last October.
Katie was due to give evidence about her finances at the High Court but failed to turn up – holidaying in Cyprus with her new man JJ Slater instead.
Her Mucky Mansion was a bomb site for years after it was burgled, flooded and swamped by an overflowing septic tank.
She finally moved out at the end of May and is currently renting a four-bed mansion in Sussex.
