Message Name: any ideas?

Message: I recently hired a reference checking service to check in on statements which I thought were being made by a former boss. I though that the #%^$ had been saying some nasty stuff, but this conformed it. Specifically, the guy stated that I was a disciplinary problem (there are no specific documented cases in my personnel file and I was never formally disciplined for anything) and for using corporate money to make a personal trip (wildly untrue- not only not documented, but never raised as an accusation ever to me or former employer). For some reason, the guy tried to get me sacked by my former employer after he decided to blame me for his removal from a relatively senior position. (I??d been there six months, and had nothing to do it.) He seems to still have it in for badmouthing me. Any ideas on what to do legally beyond a bland cease and desist letter? I've got a fairly good set of documentation, including a complete copy of my personnel file.
