Credit Monitoring — Meta Fiscal (Mobile)

Protection

Credit Monitoring

Stay ahead with alerts, identity safeguards, and consistent tracking — so changes never surprise you.

This guide shows you what to use, how to set it up, and habits that keep your score trending up.

Overview

Track changes across all three bureaus in one place

Monitoring lets us verify deletions, time follow‑ups, and react to new activity fast (like a collection or utilization spike).

What it covers 3‑bureau reports • score changes • alerts for inquiries, new accounts, late payments, and breaches.

Why it matters Dispute windows are time‑sensitive — reliable data keeps momentum.

Monitors

Pick the right tool — keep one active throughout service

We recommend keeping Credit Hero Score active during service for 3‑bureau tracking. The tools below can complement it. Choose based on what you need — simplicity, FICO specifics, or single‑bureau deep dives.
