<p>[QUOTE=&quot;USS656, post: 435600, member: 6641&quot;]Interesting first post DTL?&nbsp; I always find it odd when a new users first post is to call someone out???</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Richard - there have been some good posts by some that are obviously knowledgeable in legal matters.&nbsp; I also think LSM has a good suggestion for your records as you move forward.&nbsp; From those posts I would take what you can and pass it on to the Lawyers you speak with.&nbsp; I would agree that seeking legal council is probably the best course of action.&nbsp; It may just take a well crafted letter to heritage from a law firm to resolve the matter.&nbsp; Make sure you discuss with the law firm what their action plan is prior to retaining them.&nbsp; If you go with a small firm make sure they have specific experience in this type of litigation (Internet transactions, business contracts &amp; companies located in other states).&nbsp; If you are not comfortable with the approach or anything the law firm says make sure you don&#039;t sign an agreement with them and keep looking until you find a firm you are happy with.&nbsp; Make sure you understand how they are going to bill you.&nbsp; This make take years to resolve so make sure you can afford the process based on how they will bill you.&nbsp; 2 years of receiving monthly or quarterly lawyer bills can be sickening and a real financial strain.&nbsp; Also, don&#039;t be afraid to elevate things at heritage.&nbsp; When our company is sued rightfully so or not, there is a $25K fee to us regardless of the outcome.&nbsp; I work in a very litigious market and we generally have many more than 3 active cases going at any one time.&nbsp; Companies want to avoid law suits if they can.&nbsp; When they realize you are serious about pursuing legal resolution they will either stop talking with you or move to resolve quickly before it becomes more formal/costly.&nbsp; Always keep conversations professional and if you have the ability to record calls make sure you start the call off by informing the other party you are recording the call as a formal record of the conversation.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>BTW:&nbsp; I completly agree with Peter I would also file a police report if you haven&#039;t already, it&#039;s not hard and it will probably be suggested by the law firm anyways.&nbsp; It will show that you are serious about the items recovery and or theft.&nbsp; As a judge or jury I think it would be questionable behaviour if you didn&#039;t take this step - A big red flag!&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Companies like UPS and FedEx have internal investigative services to look into matters like this.&nbsp; They take security, employee mishandling, and theft very seriously! I have personal experience in this regard.&nbsp; Make sure you file a formal dispute with FedEx and include all of the information of the transaction between you and Heritage.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>To all of you that have posted in this thread that have not had anything to do with the OP&#039;s original post - I find your posts in really poor taste.&nbsp; This is not one of those threads to joke around in or make comments that have nothing to do with the OP&#039;s issue.&nbsp; If you don&#039;t believe the OP then you should just move on.&nbsp; You cannot confirm if it&#039;s true or not so assume it is or just move on.&nbsp; You have no idea what the OP&#039;s circumstances or objectives are so you are just passing judgement without really knowing anything about them or their circumstances.&nbsp; As someone reading posts like this - everyone should not assume guilt or innocence on any party without all of the information necessary to make that call and that includes Heritage and FedEx.&nbsp; Offer advice as if it were true and let the OP use it as they will.&nbsp; If they are trying to hurt a companies reputation for personal reasons you only fuel the discussion and/or call someone a liar w/o being able to back it up.&nbsp; Either way You are the one that looks questionable for doing so.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Good Luck Richard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
