What you have described to me is considered defamation of character in legal terms.

To sue for defamation of character, you need to know the elements of a defamation lawsuit and how to file the lawsuit if you have a viable case. To prove defamation, you have to show that someone made a false statement about you, and the statement was injurious and published.

As the plaintiff (the accusing), the burden of proof falls on you to prove the defendant (the accused) did what you're claiming. What you have described is considered defamation. Defamation is a false statement presented as a fact that causes injury or damage to the character of the person. This can be an example: "Smith stole money from his boss.” If this is not true and if making the statement damages Smith's reputation or ability to work, it is defamation.

In case this goes to court, you may sue in small claims court if the amount is under 10k. For the most part, there is actually no minimum you can sue someone for. The limit for the 50 states is usually up to 10,000. Only a handful of states allow for more than that.
