Cedar Rapids says it messed up on 4,800 traffic camera speeding tickets sent to drivers recently. That’s because those tickets say if someone doesn't pay the fine on time, it will affect their credit.

The city says a staff member accidentally used an old template on the letters that were sent out to people.

The attorney general reached out to the city about the error when they received calls from people who received traffic camera speeding citations in Cedar Rapids. They say an agreement passed last year with several credit agents prohibits traffic camera citations from being sent to credit agencies.

A representative from the city says the error has been fixed, and they are working to make sure it does not happen again. They also said no unpaid tickets have been reported to any collection agencies.
