Hi,
I have been living in DR for about 7 months and have heard so many stories of corruption I wanted some advice before proceeding. I just looked at my bank statement and saw 30,000 pesos debited from my account twice. Unfortunately the first time (July 22) no money came out (and machine just sat there for maybe 4 mins doing nothing until I cancelled and successfully got 5000 out), and I went back on July 26 and was successful. Now back home I would just go to the bank, have them cross-reference the cash balance with the machine's figures and the discrepancy should show up. BUT I am cautions about this, should I get a lawer to go in with me? Should I contact a central bank department first? just try my luck and go in? I am not sure. PS My Spanish is not great. The bank by the way is Progresso in the main street in Cabarete.
Anyone know of a similar situation? Any advice?
Thanks
