Katie Cutler raised £330,000 for Mr Barnes after he was attacked at home.
Now she's being chased through court over a huge public relations bill.
She says she cannot afford to pay - and Mr Barnes has offered her £10.
The Gateshead pensioner has been abused by trolls over the small sum.
But Ms Cutler hit back, saying he shouldn't have to give her anything at all.
. . . and now the inevitable appears
Disabled mugging victim Alan Barnes has offered just £10 to an indebted woman who raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for him.
The 68-year-old moved into a new home with the money raised for him by Katie Cutler after he was mugged.
Now she is embroiled in a cash crisis over a £6,687 public relations bill from an agency which says it helped her achieve 'blanket coverage' of her cause.
But despite receiving £330,000 in donations from well-wishers after her fundraising campaign, Mr Barnes says he will help her with just a small amount as he does not wish to 'show off'.
He also believes he should not use money given in charity to him to pay off the debt.
The news sparked a furious reaction online from trolls who launched a tirade of abuse at Mr Barnes.
