Noooo, 83 Point Decrease....... WHY???

I've been working on my credit for the past 6 months and have slowly been climbling the ladder. My original eq score was about a 520. I cracked the 600 club about a week ago. I've been using Myfico and Creditkarma to check my scores . Today when I logged into CK my score had dropped 83 points. This has got to be a mistake. I havn't missed one payment. I have added new accounts and everything is in good standing. The only thing that has change was the age of my credit history. I had a collection deleted. My average age of credit history was 3.67 years. Now its  2.8 years. There is no way that could drop my score 83 points. I figured it would go up because of the deleted collection. Someone please tell me credit karma has made a mistake and my score has not dropped 83 points. It hasnt changed on myfico some I'm hoping there was a glitch......... :'''(

Ok, wow... FYI only OC open and closed accounts are factored into AAoA with Fico. CK only uses open accounts.

CreditKarma scores are not real FICO scores. Mine have been as much as 100 lower on CK as my real FICO scores.
