The Subscription plans are somewhat dubios, on first glance they don't reveal the complete picture. Shorter plans are expensive.

Absolute dogshit scam scummy company

Absolute dogshit. First of all its over priced and overly compeditve, they have a monopoly of the market that they treat like shit by not even bothering to filter out bots. They then cancelled my automatic payment, where i changed nothing then stated i now have to pay for it as well as significant legal fees (all of this without notifying me once) absoluley disgusting, they then now threaten to send debt collecters over their own mistake

Dear John,
We are sorry that it has come to this.
Payment methods are not canceled by us. If it has ended without any action on your part, we recommend that you contact your bank.
If for whatever reason a payment is not received, we will send several emails over a period of several weeks to resolve the situation. Only if we do not receive a response after a longer period of time will we be forced to hand the case over to a debt collection company. We also prefer not to have to take this step.
We would be delighted to look at your booking with you in detail. You can contact us at any time at happy@immoscout24.de.

Terrible Experience

Terrible Experience! Everything about this service is misleading. They advertise a €30 package for three months, but in reality, you’re charged €90 because they lock you into the full term with no option to cancel,even if you find the service to be terrible (which it is). On top of that, the platform is rife with scams. Extremely dissatisfied, this was a complete waste of €90.

Beware! Fraudulent behavior and Dark Patterns!

Beware! This company uses dark patterns to lock you into weekly subscriptions! It's subtle, and they operate in a legal grey area, but these dark patterns will lure you into paying for services that renew again and again.

In my case, the bad & honest review came because the support team told me to cancel one product and get a better one. They told me that I should deactivate the first product and that I would get the most of the money back, but they forgot to tell me that I needed to CLAIM it myself.

Not only did they lure me into paying more, but they also kept the money from the first product (around 90 bucks). Oh, and also, we didn't find any fits there, so the products were not even worth it.

So save your money, take it to Kleinanzeigen where we got lots of good people to visit for a tiny fraction of the cost here. Oh, and I will not leave without reminding you that some of the 5-star reviews are fake :) Have a nice day, and avoid this predatory website!

paid one service but their charge for two

updated Jan.13
---------------------

base on the email immopscount24 provided below. I wrote to them and asked for a call on Jan.5. until now I still have not heard back anything from them.

----------------------------------------------------

I have booked a shufa on their platform in aug. I paid via PayPal. then I never look at the website anymore and I am not a German speaker. 2 month later I received a PayPal note saying I paid money to them, so I log into the website and realised that they have been charging me for 2 month for another service called mietenplus which I did not authorised, I also did not aware that I have ordered this service for past 3 months. I contact their customer service and they come back to me "defining it is my fault". I explained that I never use the platform so I didn't logged in and their automatic email all went to my spam mailbox that I did not know this is a recurring spending. and after all they start to send me past 3 month invoices (I never received them earlier)I want to know how to protect consumer right in Germany in this case as their customer service is not trying to solve the problem, they kept stating I shall be responsible for it, instead of thinking why I have been request a reinvestigation of 60 euro payment, if I have ever used their service. I just feel very bad about how their customer service come back to you without a solution and instead keep sending you invoice which they did not do it earlier (otherwise I could cancel the service in 1st month or 2nd month until I know the existence of this at the 3rd month)

in anyway, they did not try to understand you, and I take this platform as a scam now. I will ask for help in facebook group tomorrow to seek if I can get any legal assistance and talk to verbraucherzetrale.

Dear Ying Lu,
We apologize for the misunderstanding.
When booking the SCHUFA Credit Check, we offer a free month of Plus membership. It is pointed out that this will be extended for a fee if it is not canceled. If the Plus membership is then actively selected, we will then send two booking confirmations by e-mail. One for the SCHUFA credit check and one for the Plus membership.
If these instructions have been overlooked, we will be happy to take a look at your booking together. You can contact us at any time at happy@immoscout24.de.

Cancellation Request Ignored by ImmobilienScout24

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue with my subscription on ImmobilienScout24. My user number is 25183670. Initially, I intended to cancel my subscription as the original payment did not go through successfully, and I do not wish to continue the membership. To address this, I contacted the billing department via email on October 16, 2024, explaining my request for cancellation. Despite sending a follow-up email, I have not received a response, and the payment request remains active.

At this point, I kindly ask that my subscription be canceled and the payment request withdrawn. I expect a prompt response from ImmobilienScout24's customer service, as this delay has caused unnecessary inconvenience.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Kind regards,

28 October 2024

I feel compelled to share this…

I feel compelled to share this experience. I cancelled my subscription with ImmobilienScout24 at the beginning of the contract renewal via letter and multiple emails, but they ignored my cancellation. I kept getting robotic responses that didn’t address my concerns. Months later, I received threatening emails demanding payment for months when I was no longer using their services, despite already canceling and explaining that I was leaving the country.

Eventually, I felt pressured into paying, as I was told to transfer the money "RIGHT NOW" or face further problems. As a non-German speaker, I felt like I had no choice. I felt scared, disrespected, and have lost all trust in them.

I previously used ImmoScout24 in Austria without any issues, so their behaviour in Germany was shocking.
I want the money they wrongly took from me – 3 months’ charges for nothing, which is a significant amount to me – or, at the very least, 2 months back, as I tried to negotiate but wasn’t listened to.

Hello, we would be happy to look at your case together. You may have concluded a contract with a minimum term. In this case, the termination will only take effect at the end of the minimum term. This is indicated accordingly when you make your booking. Just let us take a look at your booking.

Good app, horrible price to result ratio

The app and search engine work great, but since everyone pays for the services, you don’t necessary get more offers if you pay.

In addition to the payments, the minimum contract is 3 months which I personally think is greedy and manipulative of the system. And even if you subscribe you have to manually cancel or else they will continue charging without informing you.

Overall my experience was underwhelming, I got maybe 2 viewings, and wasted so much time and money. I had a much better experience with a free application and I got way more viewings.

Would definitely not recommend!

Payment

When you book the product it says that you need pay 120$ for 6 month.
After 6 months they automatically without any confirmation extent the contract as renewable.
Not worth it, not recommend the service.

Subscription trap

UPDATE: after I paid the full amount in advance in order to get them to delete my personal data, they have now sent me an email from a lawyer asking that I pay them a sum plus interests and fees.

STAY AWAY - RATHER USE IMMOWELT

Using misleading terminology to trick you into purchasing a subscription that you cannot get out of. They won't let you close your account even if you offer to pay the full amount for the ONE month you will actually, reasonably use the service. They won't delete your PERSONAL DATA if you request so. They will, instead, threaten to involve "debt collection agents".
I have had to pay the full amount for the whole year now just to request for one last time that they delete my own personal data.
The subscription model has been solely created to rip customers off. How often will it happen that you will need to use a real estate platform for an entire year? If that is the case, it wouldn't be a very good platform, would it?
Stay away. Rather use Immowelt.

Dear Marilena,
We are sorry that you got this impression. When booking MieterPlus, we offer three different minimum terms from which you can choose. 12 months is the longest of the three options.
