Ok here are the basics.I signed up for classes at the local community college in Spring 1998. 7 years later I still owe them money (stupid I know but Im paying them off now) and I just found out it is on my Trans Union account.They will be paid off in a few weeks and I can get a letter and have them report it as paid off.My question is this.under details it states 'Estimated date that this item will be removed is 12/2005'I am confused about this. The report also says 'date reported for collection 5/2004'So is it being removed in 2005 because its an account that was opened in 1998? Or is the CCU of Maryland very leniant? I assumed this would stay on my credit report either 7 years from the date of collection or 7 years from the date the collection was paid in full.What do you all think?
An automated speed enforcement (ASE) system is an enforcement technique with one or more motor vehicle sensors producing recorded images of motor vehicles traveling at speeds above a defined threshold. Images captured by ASE systems are processed and reviewed in an office environment.

All citations are reviewed and certified by a police officer. Violation notices are then mailed to the registered owner of the violating vehicle. Often, ASE systems are referred to as speed cameras.What is the goal of the work zone automated speed enforcement (ASE) program? The ASE system measures the speed of each passing vehicle. A series of photographs are recorded to document vehicles traveling at or above a determined speed threshold. The date, time, and location of the violation, as well as the speed and license plate of the violator's vehicle are recorded. Following the proper identification of the registered owner of the vehicle using the license plate number, the registered owner is mailed a citation, which includes the violation photos and the vehicle speed.How often are the ASE systems checked for accuracy?
To maximize the program's flexibility and impact, the speed cameras used in work zones are deployed in sport-utility vehicles referred to as 'mobile ASE units'. A mobile ASE unit can be located within the limits of any work zone on expressways and controlled access highways where the speed limit is 45 mph or greater.
As of July 15, 2011, there are seven (7) mobile ASE units that rotate through a series of predetermined work zones throughout the state. The are posted online on the. SHA, MDTA and MSP use a variety of factors to determine camera deployment locations, including roadway and work zone characteristics such as facility type, speed limit, temporary traffic control activities and whether traditional in-person enforcement is viable.How will I know if I am in a work zone with a speed camera?
Additionally, a speed display trailer posts the speed limit and provides a digital reading of approaching vehicle speeds in advance of the enforcement vehicle. The intent of the trailer is to prompt drivers to check their speedometers so that they can reduce their vehicle speed if necessary. The speed display trailer is not used for issuing citations. Regardless of the presence of speed cameras, drivers should always obey the posted speed limit in work zones.If I drive past a speed camera at 2 or 3 mph over the speed limit, will I automatically get a ticket? Citations may be issued regardless of whether workers are present in the work zone. Work zone speed limits are established in the interest of safety for both the motoring public and workers. Often, it is imperative for motorists to obey a reduced speed limit to safely navigate through work zones where roadway alignment and geometric changes, narrow lanes, or other potential hazards may be encountered.
National research has shown that four (4) out of five (5) crash-related injuries in work zones are suffered by motorists.How long does it take to get a citation in the mail? Warnings were issued at the onset of the program for a 45 day period (October 1 through November 15, 2009) to increase awareness of the program.
Currently, the Maryland SafeZones program issues warnings for a three (3) week period following the initial ASE deployment in all new long-term work zones. After the three (3) week period, citations are issued. For short-term projects, such as paving projects, warnings are not issued.What is the fine? Are points assessed against my driver’s license? If the fine is not paid within ninety (90) days, the unpaid citation will be forwarded to the State of Maryland Central Collection Unit (CCU). CCU will assess a fee in the amount of 17% of the fee due or $6.80 per citation.
Payment of the original $40 fine and $6.80 CCU fee must be made directly to the Maryland Central Collection Unit (CCU); it can no longer be paid to the Maryland Safezones Program.

Revenue from the fines is used to cover the costs incurred by the Maryland State Police and State Highway Administration in implementing and administering the automated speed enforcement program. For the first three (3) years of the program, the balance of any excess revenues is distributed to the State Police to fund roadside enforcement activities. After three years, the balance of excess revenues will be distributed to the Transportation Trust Fund.What if I wasn't driving my car at the time of the violation? Am I still responsible for paying the fine? You must make payment of the $40 fine and $6.80 CCU fee directly to CCU; you can no longer make payment through the Maryland SafeZones program.
