I've always been treating Cambridge and Boston parking tickets with
the assumption that, as a New Hampshire resident, I have somewhat
greater immunity that a Massachusetts one.  Therefore, I have a small
"backlog" (only 3-4 actually) of these tickets.  Of course, I realize
that I might still be subject to booting, but I assumed that my NH
license or registration renewal could not be prevented.

I just got a form letter from the City of Boston that reads, in part:

"Our records indicated that, despite previous notifications, the parking
violations listed below remain outstanding.  We fell we have waited long
and patiently and are now obliged to resolve the matter.

"Unless payment is received, we reserve the right to pursue this matter
through all remedies available at our disposal - including the petitioning
of your motor vehicle agency to not renew [sic] your license or
registration and the disclosure of your debt to a credit bureau for
notation on their files."

Has anyone had any firsthand experience with either their doing any of the
above (credit bureau report and/or petitioning NH Motor Vehicle Bureau
not to renew license or registration), or threatening to and NOT following
up?

I'll post a summary if there are requests to do so.  Thanks.

Summary: Will they really affect my credit rating?  Can they keep my
 New Hampshire license or registration from being renewed?
