Former contracter of my business formed similar business in our town and uses same elegant style font as me?
Let's say that I have a music group here in the U.S. playing French music that was popular in the 50's. A guy that used to play with me from time to time goes on to form a group that plays the same style of music I mentioned above. I've used the same ornate, free font for my group name for the past 5 years (on website business cards, etc.) The guy with the newly formed group chooses to use the same exact ornate font as me for his group name and uses the same tagline as us as well with the same font that we chose for it as well.
Let's say you've contacted the person in writing about this, but they say they won't change the font they use. What do you think of this?
Same type of music, same town. Ok, but same fonts for group and tagline (2 different fonts we choose they happen to choose the same tagline and same 2 fonts?)
Advice needed please! Thanks! 
If you didn't protect yourself with a copyright there isn't much, if anything, you can do about the situation.
To give you an idea of why I say what I did there was a famous restaurant in Philadelphia Pennsylvania name Bookbinder's. The business was sold and the new owner kept the name. The former owners then opened up a restaurant less than 20 blocks away named -- you guessed it -- Bookbinder's.
An even more blatant case existed in Washington DC about 60 years ago. Thomas and Lewis Saltz sold their high end men's clothing store and then proceeded to open up a competing high end men's clothing store less than two city blocks away. One of the stores was Thomas and Lewis Saltz and the other was named Saltz Brothers. Talk about confusion!
In both cases the new owners weren't able to make the former owners change the names of their new businesses. So, I don't think you have a chance of getting your competitor to change either the font or tagline.
Sorry,
