My credit card was stolen over the weekend and used by a thief to create a Paypal account, which he in turned used to purchase some auto equipment. Interestingly, the auto equipment turned up on my door step today and I called the company listed on the invoice. They verified that the order had been placed and told me that there had been a problem with the order initially, because the thief wanted the items sent to an address other than mine. The company refused to share that particular address with me.
This is not the only fraudulent charge placed on my card by the thief (my credit card company is aware of the situation and the account has been closed), but the auto parts company is the only company that allowed merchandise to be sent out, even though red flags indicating that the card was stolen went up. Can I sue this company for allowing this? Can I report them to their credit card processor? Can I sue them for not giving me the initial delivery address?
