Kardashian sisters sued for $75 million
Kardashians Sued for Ginormous Credit Card Loss

29 minutes ago by TMZ Staff

The Kardashian sisters -- Kim, Kourtney and Khloe -- are accused of causing more than $75 million in credit card damage ... and they never pulled a single card out of their wallets.



The Revenue Resource Group, LLC filed a lawsuit in Fresno, CA claiming the Kardashians breached their contract when they pulled out of a deal to be the faces of a controversial MasterCard-approved prepaid debit card.

As we previously reported, the K-sisters claimed they quit the deal because they had no idea the card was loaded with hidden, possibly illegal fees ... fees that caused the Attorney General of Connecticut to open an investigation into the card.

Revenue Resource Group claims the sisters signed a two-year deal that they should have honored -- and since the fam backed out, RRG has been crushed by a wave of bad publicity.

RRG wants the sisters to fork over more than $75 mil to make things right.

So far, no comment from the Kardashians.

1. These debit cards were meant to be marketed to those under age 18,
especially tweeners. This demographic would be oblivious to hidden fees and penalties inherent with these cards.

2. Good for the Kardashians
That said, RRG's lawyers will probably savage them in court, using the Auntie Entity defense: "Good or bad, we had a deal - and the law says, Bust a Deal, Face the Wheel."

3. Agree, however, I don't think that RRG will find many friends in the court for the
credit card industry & the Kardashians will be rewarded for not going forward with such a ripoff by RRG. There will probably be some kind of a settlement just to keep it out of the courts.
