If a new TL was opened and reporting it will lower your score due to the new credit and drop in AAoA. To a lesser extent, your intallment utilization is higher, but that damage is minor.

AAoA = average age of accounts. This is stated in terms of years on page #2 of your FICO EQ and TU reports.

 

All accounts, both opened and closed, including charge-offs (if you have any) are factored in AAoA. Collections and public records are not factored in AAoA.
