unsupported charset "ISO-8859-1" in nodejs

In my nodeJS application I used following line of code to get req.body

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({
    extended: false
}));

This is working fine, but one request to my application throws following error:

UnsupportedMediaTypeError: unsupported charset "ISO-8859-1"
    at urlencodedParser (/var/www/payment/node_modules/body-parser/lib/types/urlencoded.js:108:12)
    at Layer.handle [as handle_request] (/var/www/payment/node_modules/express/lib/router/layer.js:95:5)
    at trim_prefix (/var/www/payment/node_modules/express/lib/router/index.js:317:13)

    at /var/www/payment/node_modules/express/lib/router/index.js:284:7

If I remove the previous line, then it works for that request, but in all other requests, I am unable to retrieve data. Is there any way to fix this?

You can modify the original request header, to UTF-8.

I found no easy way to intercept the urlencoded parser, so i just changed the encoding to utf8
