The database scan identified some stored credit card info in the database but when I do not store credit cards on my site. Should I check the database or ignore the alerts?

You should always check the database if the database scanner has alerted you that it has found stored cedit card data. We have often found credit card information in address and telephone fields. 

Once you have made sure the table in the database does not contain actual credit card information you can mark it as a False Positive, and it will not alert the next time a scan is run.
