Courtney sues Amex
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 4 January 2010
Courtney Love has kicked off the year with a lawsuit, which is fun. She’s suing American Express in response to their previously reported lawsuit against her, which was launched last May.
The credit card company say Love has run up debts of $350,000 and is refusing to pay them off. But she says that the debts were run up by fraudsters, and is accusing the finance firm of issuing cards in her name without her consent, presumably to the alleged credit thieves.
Her lawyers say private detectives have been hired to try and find the people who have run up the debts on the singer’s account, but in the meantime Love is accusing Amex of “bad business practice” for allegedly failing to perform decent checks before issuing new cards in her name. She is suing the credit firm for unspecified damages.
