‘God’ Sues Credit Reporting Agency

When ‘God’ is not happy he can sue, just like anyone else.

A Brooklyn man named God Gazarov is suing credit-reporting agency Equifax, claiming that the company has falsely reported that he lacks a financial history because its system doesn’t recognize his first name, according to the New York Post. The lawsuit is slated to be filed today, Friday.

Gazarov, who is named after his grandfather, is a Russian native who owns a jewelry store in the Brighton Beach neighborhood of Brooklyn. He claims that he has a credit score of more than 720 with the two other top credit-reporting firms, TransUnion and Experian, but that the Equifax problem stymied his plan to buy an Infiniti car…

Equifax told CBS MoneyWatch that it is modifying its processes to allow “God” as a first name.
