COA group of users of Flypass, a digital toll payment app in Colombia, has filed a lawsuit against the company, alleging that they were charged amounts exceeding the official toll rates, which is prohibited by regulation. The lawsuit was filed at the Juzgado 2 Civil del Circuito de Itagüí and targets F2X S.A.S., the owner of Flypass. Users claim that the platform charged $220 more per toll pass for their plans. The action is led by lawyers Hernán Panesso and Manuel García, who argue that any charge above the official rate must be evaluated against regulatory guidelines. They emphasize that the toll already covers the service provided by Flypass, making additional charges improper. The lawyers aim to create a collective action to seek compensation for affected users. In response, Flypass president Juan Manuel Vicente acknowledged an error in processing 312 users' accounts, resulting in an overcharge of $675,000.
