First of all we should make the customer to feel that we have understood his issue and then we should accept the truth and we should tell to the customer that will surely work on it.

I would apologies, listen to him and promise to get back.This would then provide me with time to consult and find an acceptable answer.

First of all, being from the side of the organization, the customer service officer should take this issue up to the management and seek information on why can't this be fixed. A customer relationship officer is paid by the organization, but need to keep his brain and efforts widely open for his customers. What a tricky role right ! 

Secondly, whatever the customer is saying is not to the officer as an individual, but to the organization which failed to fix his problem which is a breach of trust that kept on the organization to which he paid a good amount of money. 

Calmly listen to the customer, show empathy and use the kindest words possible back to him, do not jump over and speak, listen, listen and listen. Once he calms down, inform him the current status of the problem and make him understand the context. 

Still, keep trying to get it fixed. May be, go a level beyond your reach to bring a smile back on your customer's face and his faith onto the organization.
