CVV codes protect consumers who shop online or over the phone, where a physical credit card can’t be presented to a retailer. There is really no legal way to bypass a CVV code, although you will not have to use it at a brick-and-mortar store when acquiring goods and services in person.

Unfortunately, a person’s debt doesn’t magically disappear when they die. Instead, the deceased’s debts are often settled by the assets in their estate.
