Prince sues debt collectors for $116k

Prince has launched a lawsuit against a debt collection agency with claims that they owe him over $100,000.

The 'Little Red Corvette' singer has accused the company Capital Asset Protection of making two illegal withdrawals from his bank accounts in June for $105,949.14 (£66,168.62) and $10,278.94 (£6,419.52).

The company was collecting money for a lawsuit the singer lost in a music production contract suit, according to TMZ.

In the suit filing, Prince says a judge dismissed the judgement of the original court case, thus cancelling his debts to the company.

He is now suing Capital Asset Protection for $116,228.12 (£72,588.18), including interest.

Prince recently launched a Welcome 2 Chicago concert residency at the Chicago Centre.
