Employer gone bust without paying co-investment

I think you need to ask ESFA on that one. They might give you special dispensation to record something differently.

Was going to say the same as Ruth. Letter of the 'law' says no.. but ESFA can (and do) apply relaxations at their discretion. 

I'd be interested to know the outcome of this Tracy Clement if you don't mind sharing once you've spoken to the ESFA?

Thanks All and yes we will come back with their response.

Where any employer fails to pay, the training provider must retain evidence of chasing and or the reasons for the payment not being received.   When it comes to completion and the value remains outstanding you will not be entitled to the completion payment, and you should ask the ESFA if you are ok to put something into financial records to allow the payment to be released.
