God Martovich Gazarov, 26, a Russian native who became a naturalized citizen in January, was named after his grandfather, as reported by the New York Post. Gazarov has never had difficulty with his name until about three years ago when he tried to increase his credit line on a card, according to his attorney, James Fishman.
Gazarov believes Equifax violated the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act and the New York Fair Credit Reporting Act by allegedly failing to provide his full credit report to him and prospective creditors, according to his lawsuit filed today in federal court in the Eastern District of New York. Instead, he alleges Equifax only provided an "empty credit report containing none" of his credit history, causing creditors to refuse him credit, the lawsuit filing claims.
