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!

I have accidentally uploaded a file of my assessment in course hero. My lecturer asked me to remove it before it gets to the top level management of the university. I did not know that there is no delete button on the site. I thought once I upload it to unlock certain document I can remove it or change its setting. Please help me because I will get in...

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.

Course Hero Account Disabled

My account was bisabled for "violating the company's terms of service". Everything I have ever uploaded to the site is my own work, and I JUST paid them a full year subscription. I have used the site for 4 years with no issues prior to this. Gerome at the customer service number refused to answer my questions or transfer me to a supervisor to clarify and rectify the issue. I simply want my money back so I can create a enw account and continue to use the service without issue. I and my wife (an attorney) have both reviewed the terms of service and concluded I have violated NONE of the policies.

Desired outcome: Unlock my account

Course Hero Unauthorized/Fraudulent Credit Card Charge

On December 23, 2020 I received my credit card bill which contained a charge from Course Hero dated November 25, 2020 in the amount of $119.40. I never signed up for Course Hero and did not authorize the transaction. Upon receipt of my bill I immediately contacted Course Hero customer service and they have refused to investigate the transaction and their response was simply telling me to contact my credit card company. My credit card company has also refused to investigate the matter because it is a recurring charge. The "customer service" I have received from Course Hero so far has been totally unacceptable. I should not be expected to pay any amount of money for a service that was charged to my credit card fraudulently.

Desired outcome: The fraudulent transaction should be cancelled

Course Hero Fraudulent charges

I had the service for 2 years, paying upfront for the yearly. Recently noticed 3 $15 charges. They said I ran out of unlocks and was prompted to pay $15 for 5 additional unlocks. I told them that is not true, and even had proof that I had run out of unlocks recently and was told I was out. Emailed them to see when they renew since I no longer had unlocks. Spoke with someone who said they would get back with me and never did. Disputed with my credit card company, and they deactivated my account out of revenge. BUT they will not refund me for the half year of service that I no longer had. This is a fraudulent company who is fine as long as you don't question them. They will tell you to contact them, but they do not resolve. randomly add $15 charges hoping you will not notice... my credit card went back and found $15 charge in April, which is when they also charged me to renew for the year. Scary company and now I can't get into my account at all and see the things I have already unlocked.
