YES! If the requesting State makes demand for payment and you don't pay in the time allowed, the State where you recieved the ticket/fine can file the necessary paperwork to alert them if you obtain a license from another state and if you get pulled over, BAM your butt goes to Jail for driving while suspended. Then you have to pay a reinstatement fee and file an SR 22 and put up a bond for 2 yrs.. If you don't get any tickets or fines within that 2 yrs. and you can show valid insurance was maintained during that period, you can then file to get your money back minus clerical fees.

Yes your license can possibly be affected. I found this article that explains the law and will let you know if your states are affected. Hope this helps, good luck

Non-Resident Violator Compact
The Non-Resident Violator Compact (NRVC) is an interstate compact used by states of the United States to process traffic citations across state borders.
Motorists cited for violations in a state that is not a member of the NRVC must post bail before being allowed to proceed.
When a motorists is cited in another member state and chooses not to respond to the ticket such as not paying it, the other state notifies the driver's home state and the home state will suspend the driver's license until the driver takes care of the matter in the other state.
There are certain offenses where the Non-Resident Violator Compact does not apply. Those offenses are registration, weight limit and parking. Some states will not take action on offenses like vehicle equipment and vehicle inspection if their driver has ignored an out of state citation of those offenses. Out of state moving violations is the focus of the compact. Under the Driver License Agreement, these protections are no longer there.
History
The Non-Resident Violator Compact came into existence in the 1970s, originating from the northeastern states.
The Non-Resident Violator Compact is being superseded by the new Driver License Agreement (DLA) which also replaces the Driver License Compact. As planned by the AAMVA, when the Driver License Agreement is ratified by Non-Resident Violator Compact members, it will be no longer relevant.
States that are members
* All states are members except Michigan, Wisconsin, California, Montana, and Alaska.
Notes
* Most states will suspend your license if the other state or your state is not a member of the NRVC

Yes but because of state to state communication the two probably won't know about each other. The safe thing to do is pay the fine, unless you are going to dispute it, because they may issue a warrant for your arrest. If you plan on fighting the ticket then you can mail your reason for dispute to the judge from the issuing state but now they know what other drivers license you have.

yes, my wife got a ticket in Wyoming, and paid it. We drove right away to the courthouse and paid the fine. Later, in our home state, she found out that she couldn't renew her license because it showed the ticket as being unpaid. We had to drive back there again and pay it because they screwed up. What a nightmare. Just pay, all they want is money

Yes, it can come back to haunt you. Call the old state and see if you can make payment arrangements if you cannot pay the whole $700 at once, but you do need to pay it. Sorry.

Im sure it can....My brother in law had like a one dollar extra fine from some ticket years ago that he didn't even know about and he got his license suspended if they'll suspend it for one dollar they'll suspend both licenses and you'll have like debt collectors and screwed up credit. fines and tickets don't disapear just because you move pay the fine or it will folow you for the rest of your life like an imortal bug or something

If the state which you live finds out about it, and they have a reciprocal agreement with your former state to collect the fines, your are in for some trouble.
