Q: What can I do about someone using my email address to set up an CVS account. CVS says there is nothing they can do.
I can not use my email address with this company because someone is wrongfully using my email address. CVS is stating there is nothing they can do about it.
A: First, change your email password to something at least 16 characters long. Then, try to log into the cvs website with your email, and click the”forgot my password” option, and change the password to the cvs account. Then report your cvs card lost or stolen, and have a new card and number issued. This, by the way, is not legal advice, because this is not a legal issue, unless you want to repost criminal identity theft to police authorities, but that seems rather unnecessary if the only account of yours that is compromised is a CVS discount card account.
