Has Anyone Had Problems with Rent to Rent?

I would be interested in hearing from any landlords who currently have, or have previously had, properties leased under guaranteed rent or Rent to Rent arrangements.
I have two properties leased to a Housing Group. One property is already subject to a notice to terminate the agreement and, for the first time, rent due on 17 August remains unpaid on both properties.
My concerns now go beyond rent arrears. In particular, I am trying to understand:
What happens if a rent-to-rent provider experiences financial difficulties or becomes insolvent?
How landlords have successfully recovered possession of their properties.
Whether occupiers have been placed through local authorities, housing benefit arrangements, or other agencies.
How landlords have identified the authority or organisation responsible for the occupiers.
Whether other landlords have experienced persistent late payments or missed payments.
Whether anyone has successfully exited a UK Housing arrangement and regained possession.
I am currently seeking specialist legal advice and would welcome hearing from any landlord who has direct experience of a similar guaranteed-rent provider.
If there are a number of landlords in a similar position, there may be scope for sharing information and experiences.
Many thanks
Elaine
