Do we know if they are debit or credit cards? Or both? (Dankort is a debit card, for instance, but Mastercard can be both...).

agree  Jande: I agree with "errors in" rather than "errors on". I'd put "bank" rather than "payment".

  -> Hi Jande - Thanks so much. I guess both will work - my note was intended to avoid that 'issue' altogether. I would prefer credit/debit card (after all, one rarely hears the other options these days). Anyway, again, thanks...

If you need some context in English:

During the period 2-7 July approximately 17,000 Danes received new debit or credit cards of the popular Dankort type, combined Visa/Dankort, Visa Electron, or MasterCard. Due to a software error within PBS, a provider of a direct debit service, the cards are unusable.

All of the people who received one or more of the faulty cards will be contacted by their own banks and have been assured that they will be issued with replacement cards within a week.

‘The mistake occurred in connection with a software upgrade at PBS. This has now been corrected, and we will be revising our procedures to ensure this won’t happen again,’ said the head of debit cards at PBS, Nils Hilbard, to Ritzau.

The error occurred at a particularly busy time for the debit and credit card producers, meaning that it affected more customers than usual.
