Ms Suleman also owes more than $30,000 in rent payments on her four-bedroom
house.
The home’s owner, Amer Haddadin, says his own credit has suffered as he
allowed the home to go into foreclosure proceedings by not making the
mortgage payments.
A foreclosure auction that was scheduled for Monday has been postponed for a
week.
Ms Suleman was in financial dire straits before the January 2009 birth of her
octuplets brought her notoriety.
She lived with her mother in a three-bedroom house in Whittier that was in
foreclosure proceedings at the time of the octuplets’ birth.
The unemployed single mother had been supporting her six other children with
the aid of food stamps and Social Security disability payments – sources of
income that she continues to rely on.
Since the birth, she has cut deals with media outlets and posed in tabloid
photo spreads to get by, touting a book and exercise videos that never
materialised.
She earned $5,000 for promoting spaying and neutering for an animal rights
group and was paid to take a beating in celebrity boxing matches.
In 2009, Ms Suleman declined a million-dollar offer to appear in pornography.
Last month, semi-nude photos of Ms Suleman ran alongside a paid interview in a
British publication – a photo spread she defended in the tabloids, saying
she wasn’t ashamed of it.
All Ms Suleman’s children were conceived through in vitro fertility
treatments. Her octuplets are the world’s longest-surviving set.
