OK since being that dumb with the "passport depurificacion" which obviously gets not enough attention I decided to open a new thread hopefully finding some information now....
The issue is I cannot figure out where or what bank gives one an account right away here in Bavaro. As far I asked around it is none. We have accounts in the name of my wife at Banco Leon and Banco Popular (both in good standing) and in BOTH institutions they require "depurar" my Passport and "referenciales comerciales" (which I have) even for only adding me as an additional beneficiary to the existing accounts. That makes it impossible for me to believe that foreigners went into a bank with their passport and came out half an hour later with their "libreta". Banco Popular needs 2 - 3 days and Banco Leon a month (!) to "depurar" ones passport. I need the account fast b/c I receive weekly payments from the US and the next is due.
Another question I have is I owned an account at BanReservas, but I abandoned it (less than 10 years) and lost the card / libreta. Somebody knows if I can re-activate it with my passport? That would solve everything for me.
The other issue I have an old debt with codetel out of reluctance to pay for a service charged but not delivered as promised , could it be that a bank would refuse to allow me to open a savings account? Where could a debt like that be "stored" and where I could get information about that?
