Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Michigan

Deffamation of character and slander

My ex-employer fired me over a dispatchers mess up and now he is telling everyone that I was at fault. Also I have been told that he (the ex-employer) is going around telling everyone that I have been calling the police on all of his drivers. I have tried to get a loan to buy a semi-truck and he has slandered me to the company so I can not get the loan. Is there anything I can do?
