Can I sue a company that stored my credit/debit card information without my consent? The company had an option to click to not store your card for future transactions but they stored it anyways without me knowing until I purchased again. Now it saves every card I use at that moment in time. I have cards I don’t even use still stored with them and cannot delete them.

Yes, but it's pointless to do so: you an only get monetary compensation for actual losses you suffer; what you describe has evidently not caused you any loss (or at least you have not described one); without a loss, you can't get any money for this. You can sue for a court order requiring them to delete this information, but you'll have to foot your own court costs to get the order and will not get any compensation.
