There was a recent thread about unpaid vehicle citations, or parking tickets. In my experience, once I paid DC DMV in full on their own website, Professional Account Management deletes the account fairly quickly. I believe it was within a week.
I found the dunning notice that I thought was thrown away. It says "In accordance, with instructions from the District of Comumbia Government, once we have received your payment in full, we will request that TransUnion and Experian permanently delete your delinquent account record from their files. Do not contact the District of Columbia Government for credit bureau inquiries."
So anyone with unpaid parking tickets in DC, just pay it. It'll get deleted. My DH has had plenty of parking tickets in DC, and the only 2 that are left on his CR are the ones we haven't gotten around to paying yet.
AAAAAAAAAAAH...THANKS for this! I have a couple from 2009 (someone else was driving my car, didn't tell me about the citations and they went to my old address BEFORE I moved to MD). I think I might just DV them anyway since a) they are so old and b) I didn't actually get the tickets.
Starting Score: 490Good luck! Hope it works out for you...
What state is the address in? I am helping a friend and she has them on her report, but their address is in WI. It is for parking citations, I think, in MI.

It's in Washington DC. But the return address says Wixom, MI.
I was about to send them a DV then I found this on the DC Ticket Collections website:
If my ticket account gets listed with a credit bureau, how do I get it cleared?
Normal practice in the credit reporting industry is to retain a reported debt in history for a period of seven years, even if a debt is paid during this period. In its current contract with the District of Columbia Office of the Chief Financial Officer, the collection agency has agreed to automatically send an account delete record to the credit bureaus that it utilizes. This means that the record of your delinquent debt should disappear from credit bureau records within two to four weeks after payment in full is made. All communication concerning the status of your tickets with credit bureaus should be directed to Professional Account Management, L.L.C. at (866) 353-7145.
