embassy accepted their mistake to grant a visa but college

[ghq]

I need to ask your advise on my case.

I was on hsmp dependent visa for two years. i got admission in a college for the degree of MBA, my first semester was due to finish in december, it was the time that my dependent visa was also running out. I went to my coutry of origin just two days before the expiry of my dependent visa
I applied in british consulate for the renewal of my visa from dependent category to student category. Consulate refused my visa on the grounds that i had overstayed in the country. however, i hadn’t , in fact they didnt see the visa copy of for the year 2009 instead they just saw visa copy of 2008 and assumed that i have overstayed in UK for one year as the arrival date in Pakistan on my passport was showing in 2009.
Later on when i called them and appealed for administrative review, they accepted their mistake and send a letter of apology, also requested a fresh college letter to reprocess my visa. This whole process took four months, following to their request for fresh college letter i contacted my college. College refused to give a fresh letter under the excuse that my session have been passed and i have to pay the full fee again to get admission in a new degree course (entirely a new session) in order to get a letter. I tried to explain them about my situation but they completely let me down. They kept me waiting for four months until September 2010 when they finally refused to give letter. I thought it was unfair, they also said that it was embassy mistake not theirs so they would not take the responsibility of fee that has been previously paid.
Now I am stuck for nearly a year now. I want to file a case against college for their unfair policy and also to the embassy who made mistake in the first place. It cost me one year of time, my all college fee and my Mba degree. Please advise me

I'm confused ...

I was on hsmp dependent visa for two years.

Ok.

I went to my coutry of origin just two days before the expiry of my dependent visa

Which indicates you went in Dec 2009.

in fact they didnt see the visa copy of for the year 2009 instead they just saw visa copy of 2008

So - you had a dependant visa which expired in Dec 2009 - and was a 2 year visa.

In which case - there should have been only one visa vignette in your passport - the one from 2007 -> 2009. That should have been all the ECO saw.

Can you clarify cos something isn't adding up.
