guy at the local video rental place has a grudge with me

my son went up to rent a video tonight and was denied a membership

and was told it was because of me

son said he would go elsewhere

tried a shop in another suburb an was told that had just been rung by the first shop

and were told he had a bad credit rating and not to serve him

son has an excellent credit rating

am i correct as viewing the situation as slander?

Defamation, Breach of FTA, Breach of Privacy act.

Video stores can put a STOP code on any particular address / es. This is particularly problematic if there are many people living at one address, but can usually be resolved by talking about the situation with the address - e.g. This is a hall of residence etc.

They however cannot use one person's poor rating to rate another entity.
