A "past company" seems more like your MOST RECENT EMPLOYER - given that this on a DAC prevented you from GETTING employment, and the "personal contact request" after its removal continues to do the same.
Which gets around to the golden question; were you TERMINATED from this company or did you QUIT? Even if the "alleged theft" is untrue, there's quite obviously something going on here that you're NOT sharing with us.
In either case - a CEASE AND DESIST letter from an attorney to the PRESIDENT of this company, with a followup phone call FROM the attorney will probably clear this up - ASSUMING THE ALLEGATIONS ARE UNTRUE. As with any other PAST EMPLOYER - it is TORTIOUS BEHAVIOR for them to make SPECIFIC DEROGATORY COMMENTS about you - especially if they are UNTRUE (SLANDER if made verbally, LIBEL if made in print). A nastygram from an attorney should straighten them RIGHT OUT - especially in light of the fact that they were forced to remove the comments from your DAC.
If you are guilty of SOME OTHER CARDINAL SIN, and this is the excuse the company is using to save THEIR FACE - whatever went down may STILL come back to bite you in the glut's. The viscousness of this vendetta-like behavior against you makes me think there's still more going on here than meets the eye (so, were you banging the bosses wife/daughter/mistress/boyfriend or not?)...
This is about keeping DISHONEST or UNSAFE drivers OFF THE ROAD. If you're being blackballed for anything OTHER THAN SAFETY or THEFT issues, you probably have a legally actionable case against them - if you find an attorney that SPECIALIZES in employment law and he's hungry enough...
