I suggest to apply through postal application than PEO.
As you will be applying on the base of Tier 1 General, you need to prove your last year income or 12 month income. If you are sure that you can claim the points you had mentioned in your application, then the only point left to consider is previous employment history.
You can send your old pay slips and bank statements. If the employer had not paid the tax it is his responciability. If your pay slips shows that the tax has been deducted than CW will consider this. as salaries are generally PAYE (Pay As You Earn) and classed as deduction at source.
For the time you have no job, you can show that you were improving your qualification for better job opportunity and your result will also prove it.
The CW in PEO are not senior case workers and they are considering more straight forward applications. There are instances that they took complicated cases and then forward those to senior case worker and the applicant is given decision after 4 to 6 weeks, which is same time as postal application.
So I suggest to go for postal application. Your application stand more chance there.
These are are my personal opinions, after landing myself in your shoes.
The question is... to be or not to be....
