Course Hero Inability to update PayPal email

Well, the company has been fair enough, but I guess it needs to work on its new policy which prevents tutors from updating their PayPal account should they encounter problems with their currently linked PayPal account.

Technically, this means that the individual tutor involved cannot withdraw their current earnings and is not able to proceed to answer further questions because there is no way to get their earnings going forward.

I agree with the need to put in place adequate controls on earnings withdrawal, which would ensure that no one is trying to be fraudulent, but I feel it is in the interest of equity and fairness that one is able to get rewards for work done.

I would advise they have quarterly windows through which tutors experiencing this kind of issue can get it resolved without having to lose their earnings or be indirectly taken off the platform.

Cheers

Desired outcome: A new policy that allows tutors to update their PayPal account quarterly or the introduction of another payment alternative such as Payoneer.

In fact, at some point, their moderators commented that they would not be responding to my emails going forward.

Course Hero My uploaded works

Our faculty checks out uploaded files from your website, and I cant help to think if they were able to check mine. So I am humbly asking if you can remove my files before there is action from the top-level management of the university. I need to remove all of the documents from my account as soon as possible. I'm humbly asking for your immediate response. Thank you.

Desired outcome: I would like an apology to my action, but I need to remove my files, and I haven`t seen any of other works. Thank you so much

Course Hero Not applicable

I was conducting source materials checks for my book citations and discovered that Ch. 5 of my book has been uploaded to this company's website WITHOUT PERMISSION. Whoever uploaded the my work has done so ILLEGALLY. I've contacted their customer service who then emailed me a complaint form, but I have no idea how long this process takes. It needs to be removed immediately or I will consider legal action. The file was uploaded by a wendycate45 of Laikipia University (see attached). I have no idea who this is and how they accessed my files. It is saying there are over 15 pages of my book that have been uploaded! OUTRAGEOUS. I cannot see all of what was uploaded unless I register with the website, which I do not want to do for obviously reasons. How is this company allowing copyrighted materials to be uploaded without checks?!?

Desired outcome: Remove the book chapter immediately and tell me who and how this was uploaded to your website and I will forget this happened.

Course Hero Account

I was charged $24.95 on June 14, 2022 at 8:44 AM and had access to use it for 1 day then no access the next day or week or month after the first original day I signed up and paid. I looked in account settings (per what their website states) and it shows that I do not have access and wants me to sign up (again) but I was charged for access and only got it for 1 day. I thought that it was for 1 month access and yet I seem to have only got 1 day access.

Desired outcome: my access for the time I paid for or refund, then I want to cancel service because I don't need my account charged every month

Course Hero Monthly subscription

I have subscribed to a monthly service after the business claimed to provide service for a specific class I was looking for. After they charged my card, I logged in to find out non of the documents they claimed were the class I was looking for - and I have looked carefully. Within an hour, I called customer service and explained the issue - they refused to issue a refund despite not being able to render the service. I emailed their billing department immediately after the call and received an email also refusing the refund - not even in proportion but also they provided false information in the email and did not respond to clarification. I should not be charged for service they are not able to provide especially considering my immediate - within the hour - call.

Desired outcome: Full refund
