Patrick Mendes Was Sued by Two Credit Card Companies and a Bank for Failing to Pay His Six-Figure Debt Before Filing for Divorce From His Wife, Thaís
Patrick Mendes was drowning in debt long before he filed for divorce from his wife, Thaís — and the numbers are staggering.
Court records show that Patrick was sued by two credit card companies and a bank for more than $141,000 in unpaid debt, all within a nine‑week span in early 2025. The first lawsuit came on February 6, 2025, when American Express claimed he owed $28,621.53 for charges, cash advances, and balance transfers. When Patrick didn’t respond, the court issued a default judgment on September 2 for $28,969.63.
According to Starcasm.net, just four days after the AmEx filing, Truist Bank (Lightstream) sued Patrick over a massive personal loan. At the time of the February filing, he owed $82,684.02, though the documents didn’t specify what the loan was used for. Patrick again failed to respond, and on August 4, the court entered a default judgment totaling $85,188.73 with interest and fees. Then came the third lawsuit: on April 10, 2025, JPMorgan Chase Bank sued him for a credit account he stopped paying in February 2024. The bank had already charged off the account in September 2024 at $30,016.32, and the court entered a default judgment for that full amount on June 25, 2025.
