Can I sue a bank company for sending my card andPIN to my ex-husband even though they had the new address info?

I got divorced for over a year ago. I needed a new bank card. So I asked the company to send it to my new address yet they send both card and pin to my ex. Can I sue the company for sending it to the wrong address even though nothing was taken out the account. They had my new address information with my previous card. And sent me several billing mail to my current adress.

Did your former husband use your new card with the personal identification number (pin) sent to him apparently by mistake? If not, then you really have not been damaged under the eyes of the law and the filing of any lawsuit by you will not go very far in the court system even though the bank was negligent.

I would call the bank's representative and voice my displeasure as to what transpired followed up by a written letter memorializing the conversation. Keep a copy of the letter for future need and reference.
