Which state are you in?I don't think they do that in DC, though. They will go great lengths to collect. Also, OP better not drive in DC with the same car again. If they find that registration, they will ticket and tow. Then they'll charge a good deal of daily storage fees until you pay up.Another thing they have going on here in No. VA is a police car outfitted with several cameras. That car will drive slowly where cars are typically parallel-parked. The cameras will feed images into a computer and the computer will automatically search for unpaid tickets or out-dated registrations and an alert will pop up. The officer will then boot the car or have it towed until all tickets are paid. I don't know if this is in DC yet or not, but it'll be a matter of time.

Sure enough....But thanks for the comments Mr. I've Never Received a Ticket. It inspired to me to actually go out and find the answer.

In a nutshell, it says that not all debts involve a "credit transaction" but that credit reports only deal with voluntary debt -- so something involuntary like getting your car towed, then it being sold, then you getting charged a fee... that shouldn't be on your CR.
