It's probably not worth the time and effort. You can get a judgment, but good luck getting them to pay out on it.
A lien is a claim upon a part of another's property that arises because of an unpaid debt related to that property and that operates as an encumbrance on the property until the debt is satisfied.
FedEx may have the worst and least secure digital platform for a major company. Some examples I’ve noticed: 1. I moved into a 10-unit apartment building and wanted to set up FedEx Delivery Manager. I just put in my new address, no verification whatsoever, and I was immediately given access to the previous tenant’s delivery instructions which included the buildings private garage code. Any thief could have done the sa…
Is it impressive though? They have about a 50% success rate delivering things to me across multiple addresses and I know other people who have had similar long term issues.
They're telling both that my package will be delivered this afternoon, and that it's in a distribution center 3000 miles away.

That would be argued in cross-examination. A witness can be shown to be not a good witness. Perjury is very specific to knowingly lying while testifying under oath. We really don't want to expand it to areas of ignorance or disagreement; that way would stop people from testifying entirely.
An expert is someone who claims to know though, and thus if they say something that contradicts established facts they are lying under oath.
Whether the technique or theory in question can be, and has been tested; Whether it has been subjected to publication and peer review; Its known or potential error rate; The existence and maintenance of standards controlling its operation; and Whether it has attracted widespread acceptance within a relevant scientific community.
The expert does not “know.” The expert is the only witness who can give an opinion, more or less. Because the opinion is backed up by something, the court considers it useful.
The technique they use is what’s important, not whether their opinion contradicts a fact. I think you will find in many expert trials, two experts get the same facts and come to two completely contradictory opinions, neither of which is perjury.
A while ago my wife applied for a home equity loan. At some point I got a call from someone claiming to be from the bank she had applied through (I forget which one), calling to make sure I approved the loan since the home is in both our names. He asked for my name, which I gave him, and then the last four digits of my social security number, which I also gave him. He then proceeded to ask for my full social security…
This is just an extremely incompetent and rude loan officer. Generally the loan officers are motivated to close the deal and write you a check because they get commission from that. They are nice to their customers because pissing off customers won't get them that sweet commission. The loan officer I last talked to managed to close more than $1B of mortgages in a year and he's the nicest guy on the phone. In your cas…
It’s not impossible but, wow, that’s grinding it out day after day.

Plot twist! Didn't see that coming.
Seems bizarre to me that this would happen, but reading sibling comments just keeps having me shake my head in dismay.

You're reminding me of the time I realized that Schwab (a massive American bank/broker) truncated all passwords to 8 characters.
(And no, nothing is wrong with my email, it's hosted by a professional email host with the proper MX records and literally only Schwab claims to have this problem with me).

I no longer use FedEx for any shipment that I need to have arrive.

I'm in the same camp. The single time they actually delivered it to me without saying I wasn't home they had actually delivered it one street over. I spent 72 hours waiting (3x24 periods they told me to wait and call back tomorrow while they "investigated") for a $1300 package. Initially they said it must have been stolen and its my loss, to which I said "no I was home and near the front door all day, you didn't deli…
I’d quote this as the best federated peer-to-peer package delivery. Distribute in a nearby city and it will get to its destination eventually. Fortunately, your personal info is written in the clear for everyone to see, and anyone can open the box.

Heh, that's the same company that sends physical mail to me every time I make a trade because they believe that email sent to my personal domain is "undeliverable" and automatically opt me out of e-statements no matter how many times I opt-back in. They have to be losing money on me by paying for so much postage at this point. (And no, nothing is wrong with my email, it's hosted by a professional email host with the…
When I graduated, I pulled the money back out. Apparently they issued the final interest payment after I'd emptied the account. For at least a year after that, I got monthly statements informing me that I had an account with less money in it than the postage on the statement.
