I don't think it's an offence to change courses/colleges without informing the BIA. However, obviously you'll have to do that if/when you seek an extension.
I would have thought it depends a little on how long to go before you have to apply again, and what attendance record you can show before and after the period in question - if, for example in a period of 2 years here pursuing studies you had just the one term at this place it would be unreasonable to penalise you because through no fault of your own you couldn't produce an attendance record at a place they had decided was crap anyway.
If you can muster anything at all - study notes, photos of class colleagues or teachers, anything that shows you were attending in good faith, it might serve your purpose. But if you enrolled knowing that the place wasn't dfes registered, your case is a lot weaker.
