I put a previous employer down as a reference and when she was called she said I had stolen checks and forged them and that she had me on camera, which is totally not true. This is the first I have heard of this.

You have good cause for a law suit against the company if you can prove she said those things about you. Sue them. The company might want to fire her when they see how much trouble she is causing and how much money they may be liable for.

If the ex-employer is lying, you should consult an attorney with a view to suing for slander.
Unfortunately, this will not influence the people you are applying to because they will think that even if the ex-employer IS lying they still had some reason to dislike you. You can help yourself and anyone trying to help you if you can figure out what that reason might be, because that dislike is the one undeniable fact about this case.

i think of that's a bad assumption to make approximately breast milk. If the moist nurse went loopy and massacred her kinfolk it would not recommend breast feeding had something to do with it. The moist nurse of course mandatory psychological well being help yet did not get it. Jack the Ripper has never been actual solved yet a minimum of present day-day mass murders can get caught with forensics and stable police artwork. What makes somebody do something like which would be any style of motives. i think Jack the Ripper did not like females as they have been those he focused so he of course had a clarification for doing this yet why is anybodies wager.

A referee can say anything about you to prospective employers, so always be careful who you put down for a referral.
Having said this, what they did is illegal. It's called slander (aka defamation of character) and you can sue them for loss of income since it is reasonable to expect that only employers seriously considering hiring you would check your references.
Try one of those "no win, no fee" places and try your luck! It will certainly teach them to be more honest and use their position as an employer with more integrity.

Goodness. See if you can find a free legal hot line in your town and run this past them. In theory an employer can say anything they want. But if the allegations are not true you may have legal recourse.

There are two questions in your question.
If you give an employer as a reference their response need not be flattering to you.
Whatever they say however should not be a lie.

They lied? Sue them.
Second question: How in the WORLD did you write this geek down as a reference?

I think that previous employers can answer questions...not voluntarily provide ANY information.

If its not true, you might be able to sue them, but you'll need a good attorney.
