CHARLOTTE -- Fantasia Barrino's Charlotte home is set for debtor's auction at noon Monday, according to a report Wednesday in the New York Post - and officials say the "American Idol" winner seems to be ignoring the loss.

The problem stems from a $65,000 loan Barrino received from a Florida credit card company in 2006. Aside from a $10,000 payment in 2007, Barrino has failed to repay the rest of the loan, prompting the company to auction the Piper Glen house.

The Post reports that Mecklenburg sheriff's deputies have tried several times to reach the singer by phone and at the home, but to no avail. The story also said Barrino hasn't responded to court documents or had a lawyer appear in court to represent her. Barrino's attorney declined to comment for the Post story.
