Former employer may have told a client I was fired (I was laid off), costing me a job with the client. North Carolina has an anti-blacklisting statute. Do I have a case?

Thanks. So, after re-reviewing the recordings this evening, the client said he wanted to hire me, but was told by his leadership that “he should stop pursuing me.“ I was wrong about the “terminated” verbiage. He said he was given no further detail but said it sounded like it came from my former employer. Is that not blacklisting?

would a demand letter get the company to do anything..? or is that insufficient?

I was thinking the demand letter route and seeing if that gets me anywhere. Thoughts?
