No extraordinary debts (just the normal ones on auto-pay) but the other day I inadvertently unearthed a speeding ticket from a traffic camera in a foreign country I traveled to four years ago.
I have no idea if I paid it, but now every time I see it I get filled with the dread that I'm somehow an international fugitive, and yet I'd still rather die in a foreign prison cell than call the number on the ticket and ask if it's been paid.
The trick with those is, if you never acknowledge you received it in any way you don't have to pay and never get in trouble.
...Probably, I only have one data point.
If you haven't gotten any reminders, they don't really care, and it may have even reached statues of limitations. And unless it's a real corrupt country, they'll just have you pay it if they "catch" you. Just throw it away.
