Love says Amex debts relate to fraud claims
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 1 June 2009
Courtney Love has responded to that previously reported lawsuit filed against her by American Express. As previously reported, the credit card company say Love owes them $350,000 in unpaid balances and fees. As expected, Love says the debts relate to her previous allegations of identity theft against her, her late husband Kurt Cobain, and the Cobain estate. Fraudsters have run up the debts, she claims, and AmEx should accept responsibility for that, because it was their lax security processes that let it happen.
Love’s lawyer Keith Fink explained their position in a statement, commenting: “AmEx knows the claim has no merit. We have told them this for a long time. Amex’s lax policies allowed fraudulent transactions to be charged to my client’s card. I retained one of the country’s best private investigators, John Nazarian, who looked at the alleged charges and corroborated they were fraudulent”.
