“Both tenancy I have been in were taken over by ......”

Both tenancy I have been in were taken over by grainger. They buy propertys then auction them giving little information to the tenant. They lost the paper work and bank details for all 6 student tenants multiple times. You never speak to the same person twice and they pass you off to others in wrong departments.
They are terrible to get hold of when problems occur. They tried to take rent from tenants who left and we're fully paid up. They post forms and notices two weeks after printing them.
They were forced on us as students and they were forced on me again as a normal tenant.
They always had the excuse they were busy due to acquiring over 200 more properties, they're always short staffed, I had to call 4 days in a row before I got a call back.
Being a student and needing a guarantor after they lost all our paperwork multiple times my father refused to send another copy and proceeded to email concerns over their data protection policies over the multiple paper work losses they accidentally emailed us internal emails concerning the issue which contained responses conversations about fobbing us off with responses which worked around the question.
What agent could do to change your mind?
There's too much they have to fix. They need to stop acquiring properties, making excuses and fix their entire internal system.

What agent could do to change your mind?
No steal my money, give me compensation for bank charges and time sorting it out. They could just be nice instead of constantly quoting from the tenancy agreement. This is from a tenant who carried out their own maintenance, painting & put up with rather substandard equipment but continued to pay 'market rate' for the property - I think it's really bad to treat people who could have been there for years the same as new tenants.
