Just applied for credit card through Barclays

And got this denial letter:

I believe that it is a fico score. Most credit card companies pull the true fico and it is trending that they are also sending you record of your score wether approved or not.

There are some records of duo-pull on TU and EX by them. Pulling only EX is very rare. Do you have fraud alert on TU?

No I do not.  But, earlier tonight when I went to update my TU score here on MyFico, it gave me an error message and wouldn't let me pull it.  Maybe the two are related??

Is the Experian score indicated in the denial a FICO do you know?

I'm not sure. I have never received denial letter from barclay with scores.
