God just wants some credit, so he's suing Equifax

[Tony_FLADEM]

Give God some credit. He might own a cash-for-gold store, but a New York man says he can't get credit because his first name is God.

God M. Gazarov is suing credit bureau Equifax because, despite two years of trying to resolve the issue over the phone and online, he is shown as having no credit history, said Gazarov's lawyer, James Fishman.

Gazarov, a 26-year-old naturalized citizen, owns the pawnshop Gold Hard Cash LLC in Brooklyn, but can't get more than a $500 credit line with Capital One because of the Equifax glitch, the suit alleges.

On other occasions, Gazarov has been denied credit or had to pay higher interest rates because of the absence of an Equifax credit history, Fishman said. Gazarov's credit score is over 720 with both of the other two big credit bureaus, Experian and TransUnion.

1. God just gets no respect these days!

This is one of the numerous reasons why we have to do something about these credit rating companies who do not have any responsibility to have accurate information.....yet they can destroy your life.

Good luck, God M. Gazarov.

3. That is so weird. I don't understand the glitch.

I bet the people named Jesus that I know have credit with them. And I went to school with a Madonna. I bet she doesn't have this issue.
