Love's former legal representatives Keith A. Fink & Associates are looking for $466,029.41 (£299,505) in back payments, late fees and punitive damages from the star.

Her former lawyers filed the suit in LA after she allegedly failed to pay over $500,000 worth of attorney's fees she worked up during the time they worked for her from January to October in 2009.

According to TMZ, Love regularly sent gifts, thank-you notes, flowers and concert tickets to the firm to express her gratitude but rarely sent a check that didn't bounce.

Love's rep Steve Honig told TMZ: "Courtney has not been served with anything, so as far as we're concerned there is no lawsuit. Additionally, Keith has not been her attorney for many years, so it's a bit odd that this would surface now."
