Anne Heche Struggled Financially Before Car Crash – Did It Cause Her 'Breakdown'?
Anne Heche struggled financially before her fatal car crash.
According to Radar Online, Ellen DeGeneres' former partner was taken back to court after failing to make payments on a repayment plan.
Citibank sued Heche in March 2021, alleging that they borrowed her money and she failed to reimburse them.
When the action was filed, the corporation claimed they were due $62,011.35.
According to the bank, Heche lived in the Los Angeles property she bought with her ex-husband, Thomas Jane. They began dating in 2019 and promptly purchased a $1.9 million property in the Silver Lake area.
Citibank told the court in August 2021 that they had reached an agreement with the actress.
However, no further action was taken in the matter until January 2022.
Citibank said Heche breached their contract by failing to make the required payments.
The bank claims that their last payment was made in October 2021, and their lawyer claims that "[Heche] has defaulted on the payment plan under the conditional settlement agreement."
The "Six Days, Seven Nights" actress reportedly promised to repay her $62,000 debt in installments as part of the purported agreement.
Anne Heche consented to pay no less than $5,170 per month beginning in June 2021, with the last payment due in May 2022.
According to the terms of the arrangement, if Heche failed to make her installments, Citibank might seek the whole outstanding debt in full.
According to the complaint, the actress made payments totaling $25,000 but still owing $36,161.35, plus $977 in court expenses, for a total of $37,138.35.
Heche did not object to the move in court at the time.

Anne Heche was taken off life support on Friday after doctors assessed she would not survive the automobile tragedy last week.
After driving into a residence that created an enormous fire, the "Donnie Brasco" actress smashed into a garage and drove away.
However, it is uncertain whether her financial difficulties contributed to her breakdown. However, law enforcement has subsequently found that Heche was under the influence of cocaine at the time of the collision, per TMZ.
In a statement, a spokesman for Heche's family announced her death on Friday, stating, "We have lost a brilliant light, a kind and most joyous spirit, a loving mother, and a faithful friend."
On the same day, it was revealed that she will be removed from life support. Her pulse was thought to be preserved in case proper organ donation occurred.
She was 53 years old.
