Course Hero I cant Log in my account

Hello,

Why I cant access my account, I tried to log in just 2 hours ago and upload some files to get my free unlocks. While my uploads are processing I just leave it there, when I came back it got log out. When I tried to log in again, it cant pass in the log in page and the message keep saying "There was an error. Please try again." My account is relatively new, and this happened today May 23, 2021 and I hope you can resolve this issue. This actually the 2nd time that my account was deleted, or I really dont know if I got banned or anything. Please just let me know.

Course Hero Request for the removal of my course hero account and uploaded files

Hi! Please help me remove or delete my uploaded files on Course Hero. Our university administrators are restricting us from uploading our works and someone else's works on any website, including Course Hero.

In connection, I decided to deactivate my account, thinking that my uploaded files will be deleted too, but I was wrong. Hence, I am begging for your help to resolve this problem.

I am really hoping for the Course Hero to take action on this urgently.

Thank you!

Course Hero Subscription

I subscribed for a special offer course hero offered to me for a 1 month description for $14.95 on March 28 and on the same day I have cancelled the reoccurring payment in my account so that course hero cannot take automatic payments in my account. By the way the 2 month subscription I subscribed is not the same as the annual subscription where it states that you have to pay $119.49 up front. The subscription is just for 1 month. But comes April 8 course hero charged me $119.40 for an annual subscription that I have never even subscribed to. So I filed a dispute with PayPal for an authorize subscription and for some reason course hero won the dispute and PayPal didn't refund my money. I called course hero and refuse to refund the $119.40 they stole from me and their reason is because I filed a dispute with PayPal and they kept insisting that the the transaction from PayPal is frozen which does not make sense why is it frozen if they won the dispute. It don't even make sense that I just signed up for a month subscription and a week after I got charged for a year subscription even though my month subscription just started. I called PayPal again and tried to reopen my dispute but PayPal could not open the dispute anymore and advices me to call the merchant and ask them to refund me the money again but when I called course hero again they kept insisting that refund is out of the option already. It has been so stressful in part and I do not have the funds at this moment. I just want my $119.40 back. Their customer service people are very rude as well. Course hero just steal peoples money. Do not subscribe or even think about putting your payment information to course hero because they will just take your money and have you sign up in a subscription that you never even authorized for.

Desired outcome: Refund for $119.40

Course Hero I deactivated my account but for some odd reason my documents i posted is still there.

The date of the incident was 4-19/21. I accidentally deactivated my account and i cannot get back in and my answers with my name on them are still up which is dangerous. This could very well be dangerous to me so either take the document down or reactivate my account. I think its weird that my account is deactivated yet my answers are still up there even with them being on archive. Please get back to me quick through email at [protected]@gmail.com

Desired outcome: I need for my account to be reactivated. The gmail is [protected]@gmail.com
