Answer

I wouldn't advise it but there are companies that will do reference checks for you for a fee. Some charge more than others so do your homework - search the internet for "reference checking" and you will find them.

Why don't you ask for a reference from your ex employer yourself. You are entitled to do this.

How is it possible your employer blocked you from applying to another company when you havent done any offense?

If a company made you sign a non compete agreement that is one method. Another thing I've heard happen is a company will begin hiring employees from a competitor we'll call Company X. After they hire away a number of employees from Company X, Company X may get upset and send a statement, threat, or plead to the hiring company to stop taking all their employees. Whether the hiring company obliges probably depends on whether Company X has any leverage.
