Course Hero Taking down copyrighted documents

I have uploaded notes from my university which have been asked to remove immediately by the lecturer which is Mr. Soriano. For all the notes I got from my university which I need to ask for consent from the owner since they are made for only university students. I have accidentally uploaded few notes from my university into course hero and now I need to remove them before there are actions from the top level management of the university. I have asked the course hero to remove but there is still no action has been taken yet. I need to remove all of the documents from my account as soon as possible. I already file this case in their contact us.

Desired outcome: Take actions with deleting the uploaded files

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

Course Hero Document removing

Hello there,

A long time ago I texted for a document / article belonging to a government agency or an official person. I also wrote why it is an official document. The emails I send messages to are support@coursehero.com and dmca@coursehero.com. But still there is no answer or return. I think it is important to remove such documents. But I don't understand why it hasn't been removed yet. I would be very happy if you could help.

The email the message was sent to: onyale[protected]@ yandex.com

Desired outcome: Removal of official document / article.

Course Hero Change info

Hi,

i have a course hero account and i requested for a document to be deleted on the 23rd of March due to my school copyright reason.

Until now i did not receive any corresponding message to my request.

I do not know why coursehero is refusing to delete the document as I emphasized the copyright issues from my university that they asked for the document to be deleted on coursehero as soon as possible before they take legal action.

Coursehero has not removed the paper (delete it) as this has now taken long without a response.

I need a response from coursehero urgently please...

Desired outcome: Delete the file

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

Hi Giulio,

Thank you for reaching out to us about your request to remove content from our site.

When signing up and agreeing to our Terms of Use, users are granting Course Hero a license to the uploaded and posted content. For that reason, once the content is uploaded to Course Hero, we generally do not remove content.

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.
I humbly request you to attend to my genuine complaint.

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
