Course Hero Deleting uploaded files

I uploaded some of my files and those of my older sister from two of my now deactivated accounts (MinisterPanther481 and SuperDogPerson 102). I feel uncomfortable knowing that those files are still uploaded on Google and other search engines.

Course Hero Articles removal

Good evening,

I'm writing you because I accidentally uploaded some articles from my university classes which violate some of my classmates' privacy and they've asked me to remove them.
I then sent a message for the removal through their "contact us" section of the website and by inserting all the links of the articles I wanted to be removed.
They replied some days ago saying that they couldn't and I'm not understanding why, now they've stop replying to my emails.

This is the content of their last email they've sent me:
" JaysonM (Compliance)
Mar 25, 2021, 4:07 PDT

Course Hero Deleting documents

Hello, I accidentally uploaded documents without knowing that I was not going to be able to delete them by myself. In this documents, my name, my professor's name, and class are located on the first page.

My professor requested me to take down this document or she would inform my university's deans and maybe take legal action against me for spreading her information.

I completed a privacy form, and I was told that they could not see my name when in reality it is on the 1st page. Hope you can help me to solve this as soon as possible.

Course Hero I have uploaded a document and I have to delete it immediately because it is against the law of our school.

I accidentally uploaded my documents because I thought that this website is like a google drive where I can store and save all of my documents privately. But, unfortunately, I made a big assumption about this website because I never thought that this website can spread all of my documents without me knowing it beforehand.

Thus, I need to delete my documents immediately so that I will have no trouble already. I hope you would help me with this immediately. Hoping for your response as soon as possible. Please help me with this one I'm begging you all. I badly need to delete the documents I have uploaded.

I am hoping for your kind consideration of the above matter. I have faith that you will help me fix this one as soon as possible. Thank you!

Desired outcome: I am sincerely hoping that my complaint will be resolved as soon as possible and that I will get the outcome that I desired.

Course Hero Account Revoked

Hello, my name is alexander Zachary and my registered email id on course hero as a tutor [protected]@gmail.com. I have been tutoring since January, recently I received a mail that my account has been revoked yet i had almost $300 pending in the account. I can't deny the fact that Course Hero has been helping me meet my needs, pay rent and buy food but the course of action that was taken will leave me jobless.
I humbly request, that you find it in your heart to credit the remaining amount in to my account and as a one time courtesy please reactivate my account.
I am a passionate tutor and it is my desire that I use my knowledge and expertise to help tutor students on your platform.

Course Hero Removal of documents

I requested the removal of multiple documents of my work and the response I received was simply that I had given them license to my work and they would not remove it. This was after I had explained that I needed them removed as they violated my universities policies. I responded again restating my situation and once again requesting their removal and never received another response.

Course Hero No response for refund

I made an account, and paid $119.40 for a year long membership. It took the money out, but when I go on course hero it won't let me unlock any documents and says to upgrade. So I really just paid $120 for nothing? I emailed support and Anna Sun responds quickly and says the email I gave her is only with the free trial... so what account is my membership on? I only made one account with my email and I never got a confirmation number?! She asks me for more details and she will help me but it's been over a day and with more emails sent to support and NO response. I've waited 24 hours. I just want my refund since I never got to do anything and now $120 down the drain.

Desired outcome: Refund OR know what account/email used with membership I bought

Hey Hi.. actually the same thing has happened to me. They revoked my account first then later informed me about the violation. I was supposed to receive my pending earning on 6, 7 and 8th March. Did they not let you withdraw you pending earnings? (Which hasn't turned into effective yet.) I can still see the tutor earnings after being revoked. Can you see your pending earnings and still not able to withdraw? Please respond. Thanks!

Course Hero Annual membership and refusing to let speak to upper authority and yelling at customer, lying, etc.

I paid for a year of membership and it says 30 unlocks per month. So I had been using it since January and then it asked me to pay for unlocks so, I contacted them they told me to either upload my papers for them to use to get unlocks or pay 25.00 for 10 unlocks. I told them that I had not used 30 unlocks in January nor 30 unlocks for February. They upgrade to be able to use now which meant paying more. I said why they said I used 30 unlocks from January to February so I would have to wait for February 28 to get more unlocks. Now it said that you get 30 unlocks per month. not from the time you pay till the same day next month. They refuse to honor their subscription as they have printed nowhere does it say from day of start to next month same day to get more unlocks. They yell and refuse to let you speak to upper management, take no number no call back, email support say they will get back to you within 24 hours nothing every time you call they make you listen to them and try to make you pay more. I paid $119.00 for the year it has not even been a month and they are saying if I cancel they will take 39.95 and it is not even a month.

Desired outcome: Honor their statement and respect the customers, stop yelling and taking peoples money and threathing to take part of the money and you haven't even tried them for a month.
