A lawsuit filed against rocker Courtney Love by American Express is set to move ahead. A Los Angeles judge has set a mid-December date for a status conference in litigation between Love and the credit card company, which alleges she owes more than $300,000 in unpaid charges and other fees.
The complaint, filed in late May in LA's US District Court, contends that the 45-year-old widow of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain "has failed and refused to make the payments" on her Amex Gold card. The amount due, including damages, lawyers' fees and late charges, is $352,059.67, according to the lawsuit, which states that the company has suspended Love's charging privileges.
US District Judge George H. Wu set a December 14th hearing to discuss pre-trial issues in the case. Last year, Love was also sued in state court for $1 million by a business management and accounting firm that claimed that the Hole singer had never paid the company its share of profits from the sale of Nirvana's publishing catalogue. Love had previously reportedly sold a portion of Cobain's share of Nirvana's publishing catalog for $19.5 million.
