A private individual or company cannot file criminal/felony charges. Those are filed by a County Prosecutor, District Attorney, State Attorney, etc after being convinced of probable cause.

They could threaten to report you to the police or such authorities, but they would have to turn over their evidence to them and to you and open all their relevant records to you via discovery.

Yes, if they're seriously threatening legal action they already have one.
