Unless you suffered negative consequences I wouldn't advise suing them. Seems like you cleared up a potential problem. Does make you wonder what other accounts you may have.

Looks like you can sue in California under the California Business and Professions Code Section 17200, more commonly known as the unfair-competition law or simply 17200. The law allows "any person acting for the interests of itself...or the general public" to sue a company whose practices are either "unlawful, unfair or fraudulent" -- and lets them do so without requiring plaintiffs to prove they are affected by the actions or notify others who may be affected. Moreover, defendants can be sued again and again for the same reason.
