Singer/actress Brandy has responded to a legal claim she owes a landscape gardener $3,576, insisting she never received a bill and the amount has now been paid.

Raymond Soriano Landscape filed legal documents in a Los Angeles court alleging the star owed the company unspecified "landscaping expenses" for work carried out at her property between July 2007 and February 2008.

But the 29-year-old - real name Brandy Norwood - claims she was never notified of the outstanding amount owed because the bills were sent to the wrong address.

Her representative Courtney Barnes says, "Brandy's business manager moved offices and never received any of the bills in question. The landscaper has now been paid and we expect that the lawsuit will be immediately dropped."
