you are entitled to free from Transuion.com/dispute

or freeannualcreditreport

or right here at myfico.com check my fico score above and since Walmart is using your TransUnion, I would start by checking that one here... but you really should check all 3 also, especially if you have anything bad going on with TU.

Pull your CR but probably right they are good for monitoring report just don't count on scores by themself 

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Definitely pull all 3. If necessary dispute anything that's not factual. Good luck!

The above service is complimentary for all your 3 CRs, except for the scores.

OP - it is to your benefit as an informed consumer to examine your CRs to ensure it agrees with what's being reported and for any discrepancies (if applicable).
