Ed McMahon's financial woes have not ended.

The former "Tonight Show" sidekick was sued by Westmoore Lending for not paying back loans that were taken out two years ago, reports TMZ.com.

In a lawsuit filed Monday, Aug. 11, Westmoore claims that they had loaned McMahon and his wife $250,000 in July 2006. The couple defaulted in February 2007, and then in April paid back $5,000 in good faith so they could receive an extension.

The full amount of the loan was supposed to be repaid on August 2, 2007, more than a year ago, but Westmoore didn't receive any money. The lending company is suing for $250,000 plus interest and attorney fees.

In June, the 85-year-old McMahon defaulted on $4.8 million in mortgage loans with a unit of Countrywide Financial Corp. in an attempt to avoid foreclosure on his multimillion-dollar Beverly Hills estate.
