Man named God sues credit rating agency

New York: A New York City man claims that a credit reporting agency falsely reported he had no financial history because his first name is God.

According to the New York Post, God Gazarov says in a lawsuit that Equifax has refused to correct its system to recognise his name as legitimate.

He says an Equifax customer service representative even suggested that he should change his name to resolve the issue. Gazarov is a Russian native who is named after his grandfather.
