This one's my bet. One of your accounts had a "birthday": an inq went over 12 months, a CC or late went over 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months (maybe--not sure about this one), 24 months.

Negative information on your credit report is not harming your FICO® score as much as before because it is now older. Past negative credit behavior, like missing payments or defaulting on loans, are offset over time by more recent history of credit responsibility.

Your FICO® score decreased to 700 on February 15, 2008.
Target score alert: Your FICO® score has dropped past your target score of 707.
This score decrease may be caused by these 2 new reasons:
You moved from one category of credit users to another as time passed. For example, you may have transitioned from the category "consumers with a new credit history" to the category "consumers with a two- to five-year credit history". As a result, your credit report is evaluated differently, causing a slight change in your score. The good news is that moving between categories like this usually offers you the potential to reach a higher FICO® score in the future.
