I have not obtained a credit report since my discharge nearly two
years ago.

I understand that there are three major credit bureaus: Equifax,
TransUnion, and Experian. Should I obtain a credit report from all
three bureaus if I want to check for accurate information on them?
(Do they ever share information?)

I am considering obtaining one of those "all-in-one" reports from one
of the bureaus. But I wonder if it would be the same as buying three
separate reports. Would the "all-in-one" be as up-to-date as
individual reports?

What are the other credit bureaus that collect information or do I
need to even be concerned about them?

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Yes. You should be reviewing your credit report. Also, this is a very
helpful forum...check it out:

Good advice. Also, order each report separately from each bureau.
The 3 in 1 are often not up to date. DO NOT order a report through a
3rd party site; it will appear as a hard pull and for some stupid
reasons lowers scores.
