===Bankruptcy===
By 2008, three years after purchasing the Lakeland property, Without Walls International put both locations up for sale due to financial difficulties. The Evangelical Christian Credit Union began foreclosure proceedings on both properties later that year. Selling two parcels of land to the city of Lakeland allowed for a settlement with the credit union in 2009, modifying the mortgage through 2013. In November 2011, while White was still senior pastor of the location, her ex-husband Randy White said that the Lakeland property was on the verge of being sold or going into foreclosure.<ref name="auto"/> By October 2012, the Tampa property was under foreclosure proceedings by the Evangelical Christian Credit Union after failure to pay loans. In a counterclaim filed at that time, Without Walls International claimed that White had taken audio equipment owned by the church to her new church in Apopka.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.tampabay.com/news/courts/lender-tampas-without-walls-seeks-bankruptcy-to-dodge-foreclosure/2170016 |title=Lender: Tampa's Without Walls seeks bankruptcy to dodge foreclosure |last=Sheehan |first=Keeley |date=March 13, 2014 |newspaper=The Ledger |access-date=July 4, 2019}}</ref>

On March 4, 2014, when White was the senior pastor of New Destiny Christian Center in Apopka, Without Walls International Church filed for [[Chapter 11]] federal [[bankruptcy]] protection. In response, the Evangelical Christian Credit Union, which said the church owed it $29 million, called the filing a "litigation tactic" to prevent the [[foreclosure]] of two church locations.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.tampabay.com/news/courts/lender-tampas-without-walls-seeks-bankruptcy-to-dodge-foreclosure/2170016 |title=Lender: Tampa's Without Walls seeks bankruptcy to dodge foreclosure |last=Sheehan |first=Keeley |date=March 13, 2014 |newspaper=Tampa Bay Times |access-date=August 4, 2017}}</ref> In a television interview with [[Erin Burnett]] at [[CNN]], White stated, "I've never filed bankruptcy.

I had absolutely no part."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1701/05/ebo.01.html |title=Interview with Televangelist Paula White |date=January 5, 2017 |author=Erin Burnett OutFront |author-link=Erin Burnett OutFront |website=CNN |access-date=June 20, 2019}}</ref>
