BTW I don't know about a sealed credit report, those listed above are the 3 major recognized credit reporting agencies that most lenders use to establish your credit risk.

sealed means...sealed in the original envelope it comes it, through the US Mail.

so when you get it, dont open it

you mostly see that type of requirement for very small agencies, cheap agencies, or local agencies that want to save the $39.

It might be worth the additional cost of having an additional report mailed to you. In that manner you can be more certain the report reflects your actual situation. If you note errors, it would be to your advantage to contact the individual creditor,and request written documentation that your account is current. Any discrepancies will slow down your application/background check.
