Request for removal of my uploaded documents

I would like to turn down all the documents I have uploaded to my account. I uploaded some lectures in course hero from my university which have been asked to be removed immediately. I have accidentally uploaded a few notes from my university into course hero. And now I really need to remove them before there is action from my university since I violated their rules under a privacy act that I can't put the files on a website. I really need to remove all of the documents from my account as soon as possible.

Desired outcome: Please delete all the uploaded documents in my account.

Tutor Account Temporarily Disabled

On December 9, my account was temporarily disabled due to alleged violation Term of Use, which I’m sure I did not do anything wrong. An email was sent to me telling me to send Items and video for a possible re-enabling of account. I did it immediately but got no reply for any update. I have earnings to be withdrawn, and I cannot even receive my hard earned income. May you please help me regarding this?

Desired outcome: En-able my tutor account and withdraw my earnings

Unresponsive

Some of my university's notes ended posted on Course Hero by mistake, and I need to get rid of them before the administration takes any kind of action. My university provided me with a ton of useful notes, but in order to use them, I need to get permission from the owner. I have requested that the course hero remove this, but so yet, nothing has been done. Immediately, I must delete all of the files from my account.

My account has been temporarily closed since December 9, 2022 and I don’t know what is the reason for this. I don’t violate any of your terms and conditions since my subject there is all about math, all of my answers are all from my mind and hardworks.

I just want to withdraw my balance there, its the fruit of my hardwork. I need it and its mine.

I already emailed the [protected]@coursehero.com and their response will take up to 7 business days. I want to withdraw my balance now.

Desired outcome: Withdraw my money and open my account

Tutor Payment

While I was withdrawing more than 400 $ I came across the issue of a phone number. I was working from 2020 till November 2022.

I received a message from the tutor support team informing me that they had seen some suspicious behavior coming from my account and needed a few key facts as well as a 10-second video. With that video and other information, I replied to that email. Nothing was done and the account was suspended.

Seems like a SCAM...

If there is an error in your system then it's your problem. Highly unprofessional behavior.

Removal of uploaded files/documents

My university just ordered me to take immediate action to remove my uploaded files because of the Data privacy act and it could potentially tarnish the reputation of our university (and myself). I have emailed the DMCA and support plus take down request but it's been 20 hours and there hasn't been an action taken ever since. Please, this is urgent.

Desired outcome: I want all of my uploaded files in Course Hero to be removed completely from the website.

Did not receive payment for my work

Hi,

I worked on the Course Hero platform as a tutor and helped many students in their studies (more than 120 questions). But yesterday, I was unable to access my account, and upon contacting the support, they replied that their system had closed my account.

Alright, their system has closed my account, but I had more than 200$ in my account. If there was any issue, you should not have banned my access to my earnings that I had already earned by answering questions.

Now I request for the payment of my hard work.

Desired outcome: I request the withdrawal of my hard-earned money.Account: [protected]@uop.edu.pk

Deletion of documents

Dear Sir/Madam

I recently uploaded documents to coursehero that infringe on copyright and affect an individual's personal identity as it includes their name as well as professional involvement in a professional designation (accounting - CPA).

It was requested by this individual that all the documents I uploaded be removed from the account as it would affect their academic integrity and they will lose their job and all involvement with the designation including but not limited to, access to future courses, future events, etc.

Please delete all the documents I uploaded on my CourseHero account. My username is: sabahatbashir97 and sajidaperveen189

My school is: National university of modern languages

My name is: sabahat bashir

Thank you.

Desired outcome: Private communication and deletion of all documents on my account.

Course Hero

On 29/11/22, my tutor account was permanently disabled without cause. I have not broken any of the Terms of Use rules nor is Course Hero able to specify in which way I personally have violated any of their terms other than a general "Sections 2 and 3", which I have not broken. I had over $550 waiting to be withdrawn and Course Hero is denying me access to the money I earned.

I have found many other tutors complaining online that this has also happened to them once they had earned "big money" and were about to be able to withdraw it.

I have been falsely accused to violating the Terms of Use, my account has been unfairly permanently disabled and money which I spent a lot of time earning has been stolen from me.

Desired outcome: I would like Course Hero to send me the money I have earned to date via PayPal. Alternatively, they can re-open my account so I can withdraw the money myself.

I regret hearing about the difficulties you had using Course Hero. You suffered a sizable financial loss. Having said that, it appears that Course Hero is evolving into a shady tutoring platform as it closes numerous tutor accounts with sizable balances due to null and void violations. Many tutors have lost substantial amounts of money following the termination of their accounts. Even if you contact the tutor support team to address this issue, they will not assist you. In fact, they will respond by sending an auto-generated email asserting that their decision is final and they will not be able to reopen the account, as well as that no further payment will be obligated at this time. The company has really wasted many tutors' valuable time and energy. I hope that a relevant authority can pull down this website because it is a scam site.

Removal of documents

I have uploaded essays from my university which has been asked to remove it immediately. All the notes I got from my university, which I actually need to ask for consent from the owner since they are made for only university students. I have accidentally uploaded a few essays from my university into course hero and now I really need to remove them before there are any actions from the top level management of the university. I am requesting that the course hero may remove it, I really need to remove all of the documents from my account as soon as possible.

Desired outcome: DELETE ALL UPLOADED DOCUMENTS
