Course Hero Uploaded documents

Dear Sir/Madam

I recently uploaded documents to coursehero that infringe on copyright and affect an individual's personal identity as it includes their name as well as professional involvement in a professional designation (accounting - CPA).

It was requested by this individual that all the documents I uploaded be removed from the account as it would affect their academic integrity and they will lose their job and all involvement with the designation including but not limited to, access to future courses, future events, etc.

Please delete all the documents I uploaded on my CourseHero account. My username is: BaronRam5936My school is: Seneca CollegeMy name is: Julius Hilton.

Thank you.

Desired outcome: Private communication and deletion of all documents on my account.

Course Hero Course Hero

On 29/11/22, my tutor account was permanently disabled without cause. I have not broken any of the Terms of Use rules nor is Course Hero able to specify in which way I personally have violated any of their terms other than a general "Sections 2 and 3", which I have not broken. I had over $550 waiting to be withdrawn and Course Hero is denying me access to the money I earned.

I have found many other tutors complaining online that this has also happened to them once they had earned "big money" and were about to be able to withdraw it.

I have been falsely accused to violating the Terms of Use, my account has been unfairly permanently disabled and money which I spent a lot of time earning has been stolen from me.

Desired outcome: I would like Course Hero to send me the money I have earned to date via PayPal. Alternatively, they can re-open my account so I can withdraw the money myself.

I regret hearing about the difficulties you had using Course Hero. You suffered a sizable financial loss. Having said that, it appears that Course Hero is evolving into a shady tutoring platform as it closes numerous tutor accounts with sizable balances due to null and void violations. Many tutors have lost substantial amounts of money following the termination of their accounts. Even if you contact the tutor support team to address this issue, they will not assist you. In fact, they will respond by sending an auto-generated email asserting that their decision is final and they will not be able to reopen the account, as well as that no further payment will be obligated at this time. The company has really wasted many tutors' valuable time and energy. I hope that a relevant authority can pull down this website because it is a scam site.

Course Hero Removal of documents

I have uploaded essays from my university which has been asked to remove it immediately. All the notes I got from my university, which I actually need to ask for consent from the owner since they are made for only university students. I have accidentally uploaded a few essays from my university into course hero and now I really need to remove them before there are any actions from the top level management of the university. I am requesting that the course hero may remove it, I really need to remove all of the documents from my account as soon as possible.

Desired outcome: DELETE ALL UPLOADED DOCUMENTS

Course Hero Verification Number

Hi Team/Bessie,

My previous query has been partially resolved, the team was able to unlock my tutor account thus allowing me to withdraw my earnings. However, it still says that I'm giving the incorrect verification number even tho the number is correct. Is there any way that you can verify my mobile number for me? I have already emailed the tutor support team regarding this new issue.

Please see the attached screenshots for reference.

Thank you and I'm hoping for a quick resolution.

Desired outcome: Verify my mobile number to allow me to withdraw my earnings

Course Hero Unauthorized charges on my credit card

I have been charged over a year every month about 170-190AUD by Coursehero despite the fact that I have never subscribed to any of their courses. I've never even looked at their website. After contacting and providing screenshots of charges Course Hero told me that they cannot locate my account and charges. Of course not because I have never subscribed to any of their products. I provided all information they requested and they keep repeating same questions about my account with them etc. How can supposedly reputable conpany charge money for completely nothing.

Desired outcome: To resolve issue and stop charging me

Hi Bessie: that's exact problem: I do not have any account with CourseHero. I never purchased anything from Coursehero. Ever. Please read my complaint again: i seriously don't know how to be clearer that I do not habe any accounts or association with Coursehero. So my question is why you charge my credit card? Please see attachments: you can clearly see that you charged my card. But I've never authorized coursehero to do so.

P.S. Support has nor replied to my email.

Course Hero Coursehero Tutor Account Closure

Hello, I have a tutor account with coursehero and they closed my account in August this year without giving me any specific reason for it. They did not even send me a notification of the account closure. I only got to find out about it when I tried to login and the site did not allow me to do so, stating that my username or password was wrong. They did not even allow me to reset the password of my account and when I try to login via my gmail it says that its a Bad Request. The account email is [protected]@gmail.com. I'd really like for my account to be restored.

Desired outcome: I would appreciate if the company restored my account or atleast allow me to withdraw the money I worked hard for.

Course Hero My tutor account was completely taken down by course hero team without able to withdraw my pending earnings

I emailed the tutor support team several times now since 03-Nov-2022 with regards on verifying my contact number as I cannot withdraw my pending earnings (192+ USD). They responded to me yesterday (see attached photo) however they didn't resolved the issue and just took down my account completely as I cannot log-in anymore and withdraw my pending earnings. As stated on the dashboard (see attached photo), we can still withdraw our available balance if it exceeds 20 USD, just contact the tutor support team, then why they took down my account completely and take my hard earned money away? It's fine if my tutor account will be closed however I just need my pending earnings to be withdrawn.

I emailed back Anya and Tutor Support Team provided my feedback since it turns out that COURSE HERO IS SCAMMING THEIR TUTORS! They're response was very misleading and it didn't resolved any issues.

I hope this can be addressed immediately.

You can contact me via my email address: [protected]@gmail.com

Desired outcome: I'd appreciate if my pending earnings can be withdrawn even though if my tutor account was closed.
