Overview

• Verbraucherzentrale Baden-Württemberg sued Fastic in the Berlin Regional Court (Az. 105 O 51/25) after users missed a single meal log in its 14-day trial and were automatically billed €99 for an annual subscription
• Verbraucherzentrale Bundesverband filed a separate lawsuit (Az. 52 O 220/25) accusing Fastic of misleading claims about health insurance reimbursement eligibility
• The app’s confirmation button prominently displayed “0 €” while obscuring the actual €99 charge, leading many users to report they never consciously agreed to a paid contract
• Fastic has announced plans to update its user interface and pricing disclosures and removed the free-trial prompt in recent tests, though permanent changes remain uncertain
• Consumer protection groups are offering template letters and guidance to help affected users dispute unsolicited invoices and assert their rights
