Today I received a notification from TU that my credit was pulled. Since I was on ice, it concerned me. I pulled my report which I hadn't done since like May of last year and saw it was from 4 months ago.

You can always request Amex to have a different bureau pulled, but it's extremely unlikely. I used to do it in the early 2000s. Only once did they pull what I requested. On a recon, I always ask for my EQ to be pulled as it is the most up to date with my deleted collections. In this case, I didn't ask for TU to be pulled. They pulled it along with EX at the same time.

This was when I was testing the waters because I was formerly blacklisted. Now that I'm in I haven't received a HP.

Did it affect any of your apps with TU being frozen?
My reports weren't frozen at the time, but it would explain my denials from NFCU for too many inquiries. I just assumed it was because I added 5 cards in a short amount of time in addition to an auto loan. Turns out I had an additional 4 inquiries from amex on TU.

Do you use a Credit monitoring service? CK alerts me almost immediately if any HP on EQ and/or TU. That’s about all it’s good for, though.
That's my bad for wording it badly. It's currently on ice, wasn't at the time.
I have all 3 bureaus, creditwise, Disco's, Chase's, and credit karma, which is why I was alarmed. TU's was the only one that went off.
