If they make the spot based of your script, put it in your book and be thankful you didn’t have to deal with any of the production headaches.

Leave the agency when you have a chance. I had an issue with a CCO who would adapt and share my ideas while reviewing work with other creative directors. My ideas got produced and when consulted he would say the idea came up spontaneously during the review discussion, so he won’t give me any type of credit. I left that agency and I hope he burns in hell one day.
