    Course Hero — No response with my urgent request of deleting a certain file uploaded in my account

    I emailed the course hero multiple times regarding my concern about deleting/removing a document uploaded in the site yet there's still no response. It's an urgent issue and I still don't have any updates that the document was taken down.

    Attached is the screen shot of the file I wanted to be taken down

The said document is needed to be deleted immediately since it contains a lot of information that is not supposed to be viewed online.

      Course Hero — Leak of private information

      Good day!

      It seems like my email (*********@up.edu.ph) was used to sign in in this website to upload confidential files containing other private information and even works of my colleagues. Please I am begging you to take down all the documents in that account most especially those under the "CHEM 141.9" folder. Thank you.

      Please see the attached file and the links of some confidential documents for the details of my report

            Resolved             Course Hero — Document removal

            I mistakenly uploaded files to Course Hero that contained personal information. I called the customer service number and was told to email them a request for takedown along with the URLs of each individual document I wanted removed. I complied and got an email back on Apr 8th that said I needed to fill out a privacy form. I completed the privacy forms and received an email back on April 9th that stated that they would not take down my documents. The customer service was poor, and I fear that my personal information will permanently be stuck on their website now.

            All I want is for my files to be removed.

            To anyone reading this, do not upload any of your materials to this website under any circumstances. While it might not be a scam technically, it's predatory at best and you will most likely regret it.

              Course Hero — Tutor account

              If I had known coursehero is such a fraud company then I would have never wasted a single minute there. I had around 250$ owed by this scam company but suddenly they closed my account without any explanation and no warning at all.
              Avoid them at all cost.

                      I accidentally downloaded a document that I did not want made public. Course hero has refused to take it down and gave me a run around instead.
                      Then...after cancellation of my membership, I was charged 119 dollars. That's a pretty good chin o of money for something I don't use and has been cancelled. My credit card company suggested I try and sort this out with you guys, so I am. But the lack of customer service I've received leads me to believe I won't get far.
                      You can't get rid of an upload, then charge an account I cancelled months ago?

                        Report Cards, research papers, and academic requirements were illegally uploaded on Coursehero. Most likely, the user ConstableMonkey3665 must have uploaded some random files from a computer to get access to one particular file.

                        The mentioned academic papers do not have permission to be uploaded on this platform because this does not follow the school's data privacy policies. Hence, please remove the files now. Just remove the files. What we're after here is to protect the privacy of the concerned people.
