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!

17. It takes one phone call and one follow up form to get rid of bogus
charges.
Thats 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.

18. PU/SU
63rd is meant for the first! jerks. Pharm jokes aside, she should pay her bill. How does AMex give a line of credit that "high" to a mess like she has been?

She must have missed the mandatory psychological exam you get when they give you a Amex Card.

20. If she would quit beating her head against walls, maybe she'd have enough brain cells to realize that she owes people money. And to the person who said CC is a GREAT rock star and a GREAT musician, you must be banging your head against a wall also. Not only has she done nothing in the last ten years, but she can't play the guitar worth a pile of sh*t.
I've seen Hole in concert and they suck. I want My money back. Bang your head against the wall on that one.

21. I am not a fan of Ms. Love but I am on Courtney's side on this. No matter how many letters of dispute you send them, they will never listen to you. The sad thing about it is the people concerned in Amex billing continually bills the client. They say that the machine just spews out those bills automatically when payment is not received. They should hold their "Account Receivables" responsible for these stupidities.

I do not think that they even open their mails when they see "In Re: Charges Disputes" Now that they brought it out in the open and published this, I hope they get burned after the investigation proves that they have been disputing the case for some time.

23. Courtney Love is one of the ugliest humans alive,,,,She should be in Jail for life for (in my opinion, and many others) conspiring to kill Kurt Cobain ( listen to "Heart Shaped Box" and how Kurt felt about Courtney) She can get all the plastic surgery she wants with Cobains money---but she will always be an ugly, nasty, beast!!!

24. BS...I had a fraudulent charge on my Amex card, it didn't take 5 minutes on the phone for them to remove the charge and change my number..

25. Courtney Cox is kind of America's Amy Winehouse. We have trouble believing her even when she's being genuine, although she's seemed to do better in the last few years. Hopefully, she can clear all of this up. From what I can tell, Frances has turnded out really well, thanks to Grandma.

26. Courtney... the idea is to help the economy by spending money and paying the bill, not putting us in a worse economic mess. I cut my plastic credit cards up years ago and use my debit card or don't buy what I can't afford. We should not be stupid with money. We have more money to spend and help others, if we don't have all that interest every month.

27. Come on people! I know everyone is down on credit cards these days and if it was Tom Hanks or someone claiming that it was fraud then I would be sympathetic, but this is Courtney Love. She is a master of the Blame Game. EVERYTHING is someone elses, anyone elses fault in her world. She blames dishonest bankers for raiding her daughter's trust fund. Whenever there is any sort of accusation against her regarding unpaid bills (and it occurs frequently) she comes up with some sort of fraud claim. She once claimed that she was such a huge target for fraud that "(On) any given day... you can find me on a private plane from Tucson to Dallas, tooling around London... and LA - and four C Cobains on a Virgin flight to (London airport) Heathrow all on the same day." and that Kurt's name was used to buy a house in New Jersey. Yeah, right. I am quite sure that a few red flags might be be raised by someone going into a mortgage company and trying to get a loan under the name and social security of a dead person, especially with the name and social security number of someone who is so famous that his estate makes as much (and at least once more) money as Elvis! Identity thieves sophisticated enough to buy a house fraudulently know enough to not use the name and social of such a huge name.

28. Amazing how everyone assumes that AMEX is right and she is a liar. You don't have to like her as a musician or a person (although I doubt any of you know her well enough to judge her as a person). Why call her looks into question? What does it have to do with the story? It is really sad to read comments that people post but then I guess it is easy to show your ignorance when you can hide behind the internet. Everyone has issues in life but not all of us have to stand before the general idiotic public and be judged. Some of you should better spend your time by learning something...let's start with compassion and not be so quick to think the worst of everyone.

29. You can't rationalize with the credit card companies... they're like the mob: impossible to get rid of and always wanting more and more money.

I hope President Obama regulates credit card companies and their predatory lending practices.

30. Oh Please we all know through her pathetic and incoherent Myspace blogs that she loves to shop, ETSY ETSY designer this, designer that, she has a really bad internet shopping addiction, add that with some pills and drugs and i am sure she racked up all those bills..she's notorius for not paying her staff and rehabs who have sued her in the past. COURTNEY LOVE HAS NO MERIT, she needs a one way ticket back to Bellevue mental ward
