Perhaps you could provide a few details about the "damage"?
Also, I would suggest you read this thread http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/avis/...mage-rant.html for potentially similar experiences by others and routes for remedy you may pursue.
As to being charged Dollars instead of Euros, it's called DCC (Dynamic Currency Conversion) http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/avis/...argebacks.html
OP stated that he had requested billing in EUR, in which case the application of DCC - which in any event is a scam, owing to exorbitant exchange rates - was indeed underhanded.
