A Dominican bank requires a reference from my bank in England to allow me to open a bank account in DR. My Bank in UK also demands that the request for the reference from my bank comes from the third party, being the bank in DR. The bank in the DR will not send off to my bank in the UK for the reference, this is down to me to request, and even if I could somehow get the bank in DR to write to my UK bank they would not send it via FedEX, if at all that would cost me around ?20. Now saying the bank in the UK then got the request they would not send the reference back to DR bank with FedEX even if I offered to pay another ?20 to get the reference sent back.
So even though it is impossible as both sides seem like they don't understand Dominican postal systems don't work, if I could beg and plead and eventually get them to use FedEX to send these letters to each other (which they won't) it would cost me at least ?40 just for the lettering before I even opened an account which I can not do.
How seriously unhelpful can a bank be. Basically I'm stuck:bored:
