Complaint: God Gazarov claims Equifax has refused to accept his name
Quote:
A New York businessman named God is suing Equifax for stating that he has no financial history after its system rejected his name.
God Gazarov, who owns a gold dealership in Brooklyn, filed a lawsuit against the credit agency today, claiming that it has refused to fix the problem.
The 26-year-old, who was named after his Russian grandfather, says he has repeatedly called and written to the agency for the past two years to complain.
Because Equifax refuses to accept his name, he claims he has been listed as having no financial history on the agency's records, which can have a negative impact.
