bank charges for being paid in euros

I am hoping that someone can give me advice on the following
I work abroard and paid in euros into my uk bank . I have been paid like this since Feb 2005.
Up until the begining of Nov 2006 the bank have not charged me for changing my wages from euros to pounds. Since the end of Nov 2006 they have applied a charge of 6 pounds per week for this transaction even though my company already pays a charge via their bank.
My company have confirmed that they still pay my money in the same way and still pay the charge. The bank blames my company for "filling in the form incorrectly" but I am unable to get anything in writing from them.
So far they have refunded a total of 12 pounds, but as of today they owe me 66 and will not admit their mistake.
The 6 pound charge does not show on my bank statment it is shown on a separate letter I receive every week showing exchange rate etc

    What bank are you with, can anyone advise me about Santander charges for having your wages paid into the UK in euros and OUT in pounds and is there a limit on how much you can withdraw from your account, thanks COALFACE

    HSBC charge for receiving payments in foreign currencies - so if you bank with them it's not a mistake.
    I am employed as a manager in a financial services institution. My views are entirely my own.

    You have resurrected a thread over five years old that consisted of only one post by somebody who never posted before or since.

    I doubt you will get a reply!
