A Brooklyn man is suing Equifax for reporting that he has no financial history because the credit-reporting agencys system wont recognize his first name.
God Gazarov was named after his grandfather.
Gazarov filed a federal lawsuit on Friday after more than two years of fighting with the agency. He claims that the agencys refusal to accept his name as legitimate stopped him from buying an Infiniti car last year.
According to the 26-year-old, an Equifax customer service employee suggested that he change his name to fix the problem.
The owner of the Gold Hard Cash jewelry store claims he has scores of more than 720 with TransUnion and Experian.
Its extremely frustrating, Gazarov told the New York Post. I worked hard to get good credit to look good to lenders and this happens.
What happen to...In God we trust, all others need good credit. /S
I went to college with a guy named God, but the ‘o’ sounded like a long ‘o’ not the short, guttural ‘o’ in God as in the Heavenly father.
He pronounced his name like “goad.”
Ha ha ha! This is *so* ridiculous, how can he be God when everyone knows Obama is God?
I can’t stand credit reports, freakin’ rat bastards. That thing is abused so much it ain’t funny. Some companies if you are late one payment they send you to collections and there you have your credit ruined and this freakin rat blacklist hanging over your head.
May be the wrong thread for a comment like this, but just darn.
Darn. That girl is. Well let me just leave it at ...
Darn.
Me either...re: credit reports...it’s a scam imho
What I was thinking.
My God owns an Infinity.
My God owns all Infinity!
Probably not because that would be racist. /S
Maybe he can just change the name to Creator like in the Noah movie.
Credit, if it also comes with interest payments, it not funny. Go interest/debt free.
Protip: when apartment hunting, NEVER get a place with a fractional sweet address. I run into nothing but problems with online vendors and then the Post Office can’t ever get my mail right, unless it is the 3rd class crap with the fake key for the car that I just have to scratch off 3 matching symbols and win (a chance to win a car).
fractional sweet address...seriously?
