Money Problems Haunt Braxton

Once bankrupt singer Toni Braxton experienced serious deja vu in a department store when her credit card was declined.

Braxton was declared insolvent in 1998, was worried that the shop assistant would think she was still penniless.

She explains, "I had this credit card that I hardly ever used, and I charged some home-furnishing things that were probably $8,000.

"The sales person was like, 'Sorry, your credit card is not working.' I just wanted to melt. So I said, 'You know what, why don't we try another one?' I thought, 'Oh my God, is it going to work?' It did. But they are all going to think I am still broke."
