I want a refund because I was charged an absurd amount, 220 dollars when I payed for a subscribtion of 11 dollars.

User's recommendation: click on a subscription that says 11 dollars then get charged 220 :)

Bc it took 143$ out of my account

AI Highlights
  • - No longer has a Course Hero account.
  • - $143 charged to my checking account.
  • - The charge doesn't match the subscription cost.

I dont have a Course Hero account anymore and $143 was taken out of my checking account which even if I did still have a Course Hero account I dont understand why $143 would be taken out because the subscription is not even that much money

Loss:
$143

Course Hero - Refund request
Course Hero - Refund request - Image 2

Hello, a week ago I subscribed to a course here and immediately unsubscribed after half an hour, hence I requested a refund. I received an email the same day stating that I would get a full refund after 3-7 business days.

After 7 days, since I didn't receive my refund, I contacted them again and they informed me that the transaction was cancelled before the refund.

Now, when I check my account, I can't see any statement, but the money still hasn't reached my account. What should I do?

Course Hero is deducting my $40 on every month, even I deleted my account and unsubscribed so many times. Upon request I am not even getting my money back.

AI Highlights
  • - Subscribed to Course Hero once and discontinued.
  • - Charges continue monthly after cancellation.
  • - Deleting the card prompts to add another card.

I got subscribed on Course hero only once then I discontinued. But still my money is getting deducted on every month.

There is no option to remove my credit card they are asking to add another card if I am trying to delete my previous card. It is fraud app. Nobody is listening your complaints.

If still they deduct my money on this month then I have to call my bank to change my cards. Its so annoying and disgusting.

Loss:
$120
Cons:
  • Fraud app
  • Not useful

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Please don’t use this app. Never add your credit card on this app for one month subscription. They are deducting my money from 4 months
