What agent could do to change your mind?
For a start, they should not have been disrespectful to us as customers when speaking to them face to face or over the phone. For my girlfriend to get visibly upset as they were doing this should have been the prompt to at least apologise. Better communication is needed throughout this organisation. Withholding deposits based on no evidence at all and bypassing the TDS should never have happened.

What agent could do to change your mind?
Basic manners are priceless. I can handle most people and I am usually extremely chilled. If someone has manners and can be decent and perhaps apologise when needed I am usually very forgiving. I don't understand how these people can still be employed by a company that surely want to increase business.
