to apply for ILR or not....please help

hi...i've got doubts with applying for ILR....i'm supposed to be 5 years already this month but I'm having second thoughts in submitting my ILR application...
here's my case...point of entry in the UK September 2004 with a work permit 2 years validity by employer A...but that employer had problems and they couldn't hire me...the agency then transferred me to another employer (B) who took hold of me from my point of entry until now...the problem is it took 6 months to process the work permit for my current employer (B)...thus i had the right work permit for employer B in Feb 2005.
Am I eligible to apply for ILR knowing that I have completed the 5 years qualifying period ( Sep 2004 to Sept 2009) or have to wait for another 6 months (Feb 2010)?
The thing is I couldn't wait for another 6 months especially now, there has been a lot of changes with the immigration regulations.

Anybody kindly please advise.

Thanks

Amberstone,

Were you getting paid from September to Feb period ( during the transition) ??
Were you in UK or out of UK?

Amberstone,
you are good to go for ILR . Dont see any issues then. As long as you are based here, have continous work permit and got paid thats what is primary requirment for ILR. You can apply straight away.
good luck
