Hilary Duff’s husband is being sued for not making the repayments on a $165,000 Mercedes-Benz car.
Ice hockey player Mike Comrie – who married the singer-and-actress in August after dating her for three years - purchased the luxury vehicle in 2008 but is alleged to have failed to repay any of the money.
Legal documents filed at Los Angeles County Superior Court and obtained by gossip website TMZ.com, state the finance company has tried to repossess the car but the 30-year-old sportsman has "refused to allow Plaintiff possession”.
The finance company is now demanding Mike pay off the $103,398.57 owed on the contract as well as extra costs incurred.
Pittsburgh Penguins player Mike is yet to comment on the lawsuit.
Meanwhile, Hilary is selling her Beverly Hills mansion for double the price she paid for it.
The 22-year-old star’s six-bedroom property on Toluca Lake is on the market for $7 million.
The secure property – which cost her $3.5 million in March 2004 - covers 9,800 ft and features a wet bar, a cognac room, a wine cellar, a gym and gift-wrapping room.
In addition, the property also comes with a free eight-seater electric boat.
Currently Hilary is living in Los Angeles for work, while Mike is based in Pittsburgh for his ice hockey career and the pair are commuting to see each other every week.
However, Hilary has no plans to relocate to Pittsburgh permanently.
When recently asked if she would be moving to the US east coast city, she said: "I'm not, no, I'm not moving to Pittsburgh but I'm sure I'm going to be there a lot.
"I have such a busy life in Los Angeles and four dogs and my family's there and my work. I'll be doing a lot of commuting I'm sure."
