A judge in the U.S. has ordered Courtney Love to pay for her maid services after she allegedly refused to hand over more than $3,000 in fees.

Elite Maids filed a lawsuit against the Hole singer in February claiming she owed them cash for work they had carried out for her.

Love was scheduled to appear in court on Thursday but didn't show up - causing the judge to rule against her by default.

The star has been ordered to pay the original sum owed plus fees, totalling $3,058, according to TMZ.com.
