It's interesting to me to see DND players reinventing other systems.
Fate handles this pretty elegantly with fate points and "declare a story detail". You can spend a fate point to be like "I've got a buddy who runs a off the books car shop. He can get us mobile without paperwork". So long as the table thinks it's cool and you have the fate point to spend
CofD has merits (think feats) for contacts, allies, and status. That covers some of this well. If you have points in contacts: criminals you can better find someone sketchy for your needs.
All of that said, it's a fine idea. DND is just really lacking in a lot of systems other games have fleshed out.
