Courtney Love: The AmEx Charges Are a Fraud!

Courtney LoveCourtney Love is firing back at American Express for suing her, claiming she owes more than $350,000 in credit card debt.

Love's lawyer sent TMZ a statement claiming the suit is bogus, and that she's been beating her head against the wall for a long time now trying to reason with the credit card company.

Love's lawyer writes: "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."

UPDATE -- Keith Fink, Courtney's lawyer, tells us that 104 AmEx credit cards were taken out under Courtney's name or the name of her business -- and that all the charges attributed to Courtney weren't made by her. He also said it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out nobody takes out 104 credit cards!

2. B.S., as a longtime holder of an Amex card I know for a fact that they do not ......". allowed fraudulent transactions to be charged to my client's card."

I don't care who you are, I have never been backed better in this area by anyone credit card company.

For someone that owns the Cobain Music Library why doesn't she pay her bills?
Hell, I do... why can't she.

I don't believe these are fraudulent charges they are gong after.

5. i hear ya courtney! i had my bad experience with amex as well. somebody charged $1,550.00 on my brother in-law's card. when he tried to fight it they said they had his signature and approval so it had to be him. so my brother in law stopped paying them, they then sent him to collection and when he tried to reason with them that he had not made the purchases they automatically withdrew money from my checking account because they had records that i had made some online payments and assumed that the account belonged to my in-law! i made a complaint to the bbb against amex.

9. I don't believe you can put drugs on an Amex, so yeah, I guess Courtney is right, the charges probably are bogus.

12. Amex is actually one of the best credit card, anytime I have had a problem, they quickly address it. Unlike Capital One or any other card, Amex actually backs the consumer. The day after Obama signed the credit card bill into law, I got a notice from capital one saying the interest rate I have had for YEARS, would now be classified as a "promotional rate" as this is the verbage needed to be able to raise the rate in the future. Scumbags.

13. Excuse me while I call BOA and tell them ALL my credit card debt is fraudulent and they need to quit trying to collect from me.

14. It takes one phone call and one follow up form to get rid of bogus charges.
Thanks all you have to do.

Oh, and then there is the concept of PAYING YOUR BILLS OFF EVERY MONTH.

Oh what a concept Courtney you pharmacological mess you.

Courtney, I heard a rumor... I heard there was blood in your drug stream...You're slipping there.
