I pulled my FICO EQ report and under the inquires section it says that it show the inquires I have received in the last 12 months prior to the report I pulled but yet in the list of inquires that may be affecting my score it has these:
February 05, 2008 As Sv Slfn
February 05, 2008 Amer Gen F
February 05, 2008 Citi Auto
January 31, 2008 Target Nb
January 28, 2008 Gemb/Sam'S
November 30, 2007 Credco
May 22, 2007 Credco

On the report I got it says that they may show for up to two years although they will only count against your credit score for the one year. Maybe yours is the same thing?
An inquiry indicates when a business, usually a lender, has checked your credit. The inquiry listed here is the only time in the 12 months prior to the date of this report that a lender has checked your credit at TransUnion. Most likely, this inquiry appears because you applied for credit with that lender. Inquiries associated with applying for new credit are typically the only kind of inquiry that will impact your FICO® score.
Having multiple inquiries can hurt your FICO® score because research has shown that multiple inquiries can represent greater risk to a lender. A single inquiry, however, will have little or no impact on your score. In general, inquiries contribute to less than 10% of your FICO® score.

Inquiries not considered by the FICO® score are not listed here, such as inquiries that result from obtaining your own credit reports and FICO® scores.
If you get your report and FICO score from the EQ site, it lists INQs over the last 2 years. Mine shows the following:
Inquiries A request for your credit history is called an inquiry.Inquiries remain on your credit report for two years. There are two types of inquires - those that may impact your credit rating and those that do not.
Inquiries that may impact your credit rating
These inquires are made by companies with whom you have applied for a loan or credit.

My EQ report here shows only the West loop one and this would be the only one that could possibly be hurting my score.
It also shows softs for those who might be interested (learned that from HTSU).
