Course Hero I cannot log into my Course Hero account again using my paid subscription

When attempting to log into my account I receive a message stating that my email or password is incorrect. I have verified that both are correct.

This is the second time the problem occurred in a month.

First incident Aug-4-21
Second incident Aug -21-21

Course Hero fixed the problem for the Aug-4 occurrence in their Ticket (#2309614), stating that my account was disabled in error, but the issue has returned. I have an annual account and have reached out to Course Hero, but am not receiving feedback on what's happening with my account.

Thank you for any assistance.

Desired outcome: Course Hero to restore my account and I am now owed two months of unlocks.

Course Hero Can't access annual premium account (hasn't even been a month)

Greetings!

I can't access my account. I try logging in and it keeps saying its the wrong password or email . I even tried to log in using Facebook and Google option but nothing happen. It keeps directing me to the first option which is to log in directly using my email and password. I'd tried to troubleshoot by clearing my cache and cookies, have tried another browser and the forget password option but still nothing. I did get one reply saying that my account was a basic account which is a joke because I paid for the annual premium and it hasn't even been a month yet (I have the receipts to back it up but still...) Will you help me with this problem? Thank you.

Desired outcome: immediate responses to concerns and be able to re-access to my account by end of day

Course Hero Stealing money/account being "gone"

I had purchased a $9.95 monthly subscription to CourseHero vial PayPal On July 23rd. However, instead of being charged the 9.95$, I was charged 119.40$. I filed a dispute with PayPal and provided documentation to show everything that happened. SOME HOW PAYPAL SIDED WITH COURSE HERO STATING THAT IT WAS BECASUE I "AUTHORIZED" THE FULL AMOUNT. No I did not! I was authorizing what I thought was 9.95$. On top of this, the next day, my account no longer exists with Course Hero. I emailed Course Hero about it and have not hard back from Jeffery (Course Hero). I am very upset as they have stolen money from me, PayPal is letting them steal from me, and now I can't even access my account, which I unfortunately paid for. Seems I'll have to other involved in order to get my money back. Everyone stay away from Course Hero AND PayPal.

Desired outcome: Want 119.40$ refunded to me.

Course Hero Course Hero tutor: famtutor

This complaint is lodged against famtutor on coursehero rather than provide useful information they consistently and unnecessarily flag questions as missing information: to avoid answering.
missing information: reference (when a reference truly isn't necessary)
I was last flagged for choosing to speak my first language Spanish. This is the language we speak in my university.
famtutor flagged my post as Missing information: speak english

famtutor is not a helpful source and should be removed as a tutor
