ILR information required regarding overstaying

Hi

I applied for a student visa in Jan-2010, in Mar-2010 I got a letter from home office stating that the college no longer has sponsor licence therefore cannot grant a visa. But they also stated that I have 2 months to change college and send application again (which I did within 24 days of receiving the letter from home office).
My question now is, will this count as overstaying?

It is important to mention here that I have applied for a couple of TIER-4, then PSW and then a couple of TIER-2 applications and I never mentioned this scenario as overstaying in any of these application.

Now I am making application for ILR (10 years route), Should I mention it as overstaying or it is not counted as overstaying?

Thanks in advance for your help.

What was your immigration status before January 2010? If you made that Tier 4 application while you were in the UK, when did the previous visa expire?

Thanks for your reply.

My previous visa was student visa. Previous visa expired on 26 Jan 2010 and I made application a day before so I applied before expiry.
