I've been blacklisted from retail via the ESTEEM database, do I have recourse?

Simply, I had been given a paycheck by my manager that wasn't mine, and accidentally cashed it. The manager was upset with me at the time, and I suspect it might have been intentional. I signed my name on the paycheck underneath the other person's and I cashed it with a bank teller, who also did not notice the discrepancy. I was forced to sign a statement in which I admitted "unwittingly taking" the check, but not stealing it, which was true. This statement is now being used against me in a database that blacklists prospective employees from employment, and I've since been unable to find a job. Any help would be appreciated.
