发帖数: 38403 | 1 God apparently does walk among us, but he's reportedly having trouble with
his credit score.
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.
"It's extremely frustrating," Gazarov, 26, told the publication. "I worked
hard to get good credit to look good to lenders and this happens."
Gazarov told the publication that he had spent two years trying to fix the
problem, with one customer-service rep reportedly suggesting he change his
first name to sidestep the glitch.
Gazarov's attorney, James Fishman, didn't immediately return an email
seeking comment.
Equifax told CBS MoneyWatch that it is modifying its processes to allow "God
" as a first name. In a statement, the company said it "has processes in
place to help ensure that businesses and individuals requesting access to
credit are who they say they are. These processes flag standalone names that
generally may not be associated with the valid openings of credit accounts.
