Course Hero Documents uploaded on course hero

I uploaded some documents on course hero but now I heard students are getting into trouble for doing that. My identifying information is on the documents such as name and ID...I REALLLY need help taking them down soon, I don't want to be kicked out of school. I contacted course hero support team but was basically told the documents will not be taken down because I had agreed to their terms and agreements. I downloaded two documents from course hero after uploading my documents. However, I am willing to pay for those two documents. I just want those documents to be taken down as soon as possible!
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Course Hero Account revoked

First of all their customer service sucks .
I was a tutor at coursehero and one day one of the student posted 39 questions in one question that too for 3$ commented on the questions " seriously 39 questions in one go" to which the student flagged my comment and from coursehero i received a violation . Then one day to answer a question i have uploaded a table which was labeled by them as plagiarism and then they suspended my tutor account. I have answered a total of 346 questions from which luckily i have cashed for 320 questions and for the remaining 26 questions valued approx 200$ they did not send me a cent. They are fraud and and their customer service is extremrly poor they don't simply address the tutor's problem. Sometimes students are also of cheap mindset they take the solution and then without asking any doubt mark the answer unhelpful or will refund the amount. This happens many times with me even when i have provided detailed solution.

Course Hero Tutor payment

IT IS A TOTAL SCAM!
Course Hero has blocked my tutor account with silly excuses and now blocked my hard earned money amounting $700 again with some silly excuses. They have done this with all the tutors I referred too. I have personally come to know about more 7 tutors to face this scam. They simply get the questions answered by tutors and don't block them within a month or two, by the period some more tutors join the loop and people continue to be cheated. This chain must be broken or they will keep making money with this scam, cheating the tutors.

Your moderators don't reply over the e-mail once the account has been blocked, only generic replies, you don't even specifically tell what violation the tutor has done. You guys are scamming the tutor and taking away all the hard earned money from us

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.

Course Hero Unauthorized charges

I paid for the $9.95 a month and was charged 119 dollars, the advertisement was very misleading and I was under the impression I would be paying month by month, not for the full year. I graduate in May and that is a complete waste of money for those months I won't be in school. I would like a refund for the months I will not be using this service. Thank you.
