I am USA citizen and have spent much time in D.R. On my last visit a few years ago I had a problem with a landlord in who tried to scam me out of another month's rent ($800) even though I was paid up and left within my time of rental. He told me that he had filed and won a suit against me and I would be arrested and have to pay ($2000+) if I tried to re-enter the country. There was no way for me to know the court date or time or location to defend myself. I want to think he is making this up, but not so sure. I need to visit Santo Domingo and am concerned. IS there a way to find out, using my passport number or name to see if there are any charges against me before I arrive?
