I'm not any sort of expert on the Undergrad at WGU, and in some instances they will let you use CLEP or DSST to satisfy requirements. That said any of the Big 3 will allow greater flexibility in using credit by exam and or straighterline. Even Saylor and FEMA (though no FEMA at TESC) can be used to complete your degree. This can help you accelerate through a program and stick the degree on the wall. If taking classes is to complete the degree is your desire then WGU or some other school might be a better choice.
WGU is unique in that you demonstrate competency in a subject and you move on, it's go as fast as you can go for a fixed price of around $2500/per 6 months.
My point on the issues with your past credit is that regionally accredited schools sort of stick together. Just because you don't choose to use the credits doesn't mean the school won't want transcripts from them. As part of the application process they will require transcripts from all previous schools attended. failure to send them in could, in the extreme, result in failure to obtain admission or even removal from their program. While I doubt is happens often they could even revoke the degree you earn on learning you had undisclosed college experience....I'm only pointing out that this may be an issue for you and you need to consider it in your plans.

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this). Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.
