Credit rating dropped

My noodle credit rating that has been sitting at 5/5 for several months has just dropped on the latest report to 4/5.
Pretty much nothing on the report has changed though. It's really odd.
All I can think of is that my address has changed, I opened a new current account and opened a new credit card, and the electoral roll entry has gone from an unbroken 16 year run to just a couple of months.
I just can't explain it.
Help. What do I do?

Why is it an issue?
Also, don't you think "All I can think of is that my address has changed, I opened a new current account and opened a new credit card, and the electoral roll entry has gone from an unbroken 16 year run to just a couple of months." could be a logical explanation?0 -

The above is a good reason it's changed
Your score means nothing as only you see it but lenders are more reluctant to lend straight after a move until it's obvious it's a move rather than fraud ie you keep up payments as normal after the new address.0 -
What do you do ?
Make payments on time. As usual.0 -
Only borrow on the credit card when you really need to.0
