My banks Well Fargo have taken about a month now on my dispute and is telling me they cant do anything about despite me literally sending in proof of his promised service and messages between us showing he never completed the service. Instead, he told me that I can keep getting properties until I can close one, but the agreement was that he was going to do that for me. My bank is asking me for terms and conditions, but I have no way of getting those terms and the companyXXXX XXXX that charged me doesnt offer refunds. Is there anything that can be done? I already submitted proof and my bank wont accept it.

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I am filling a complaint regarding unresolved issues with my credit report. 
On XX/XX/year>, I submitted a formal dispute to the credit bureaus addressing numerous inaccuracies and unauthorized inquiries. Despite 31 days passing i have yet to receive any acknowledgment or resolution, These inaccuracies, including falsely reported collections, have led to service denials and increased interest rates, impacting my financial well being and my ability to secure essential funding for me, my business and life goals. Despite multiple attempts to dispute these items, i have no received adequate verification. And I will also mention that the items listed negatively that i am disputing are falsely reporting.

According to section 611 ( a ) of the FCRA, the credit reporting bureaus are require to address the disputes within 30 days. Since this has not occured, I am demanding the immediate removal of the inaccurate items from my credit report. 

The failure of the credit bureaus to respond promptly has caused significant harm as well as their falsely reporting of information. I am prepared to purse legal action if the issue remains unsolved. 

Thank you for addressing this matter promptly.
