Awful - Customer Service manager Rude

Awful , just had a customer service manager Christin on the phone from British Gas after failings to support and pushing a smart meter on me.

3 calls !! One of the calls when I wanted to put a complaint in the agent put the phone down !

This customer service manager wouldn’t let me speak.

Claimed he listened to the call and then constricted himself with misleading information.

I asked for this to be escalated he said it won’t be as he is in charge. He has the final say

Rude service with a customer service manager who doesn’t let you speak !

Update after Response:-

Have none of them channels to reply and speak to you on to resolve this . Please contact myself to discuss
