>>However when this other company copied my site they now have hidden text everywhere. Google has since updated their site as of today and this other company is out ranking me.

Just so I'm understanding right: you had a site up with hidden text that the other company copied. Then you took your site with the hidden text down and replaced it with a new site without hidden text. They still have the site they copied up, still with hidden text, and they're outranking your current site?

It sounds like you have a few choices. You can try to make them take it down and put it back up yourself (with the hidden text), you can report them, or you can try to get them to take it down and not use it.

At this point it doesn't sound like it would be easy to get them to take it down, and it wouldn't be too wise to go back to using hidden text yourself.

You can let it all go and just try to beat them with your current site. Are you absolutely sure they're beating you now as a result of having that hidden text?
