Activated Oz WHV by mistake!!

    I applied and got an Australian Working Holiday Visa in January 2008.
    Was hoping at the time to go for the year , but through the job I was with it wasn't possible.
    Me and my girlfriend went to Australia in the summer of the same year to visit friends for the month, I got an eta visa(which the flight operator said would be the visa for the holiday and I could apply for another WHV when I wanted to use it) for this.
    I went to apply for the Oz WHV again a couple of weeks ago, and immigration got back to me saying I had already activated my WHV!!
    I told them I went to Oz for a holiday and didn't want to use my WHV at that time and got an eta for this, I coudnt believe when they said that by going to Australia the eta activated the WHV and so I couldnt get another one because it is seen as been used.

    Do anyone know is there any way I can get onto them again to explain the situation and has anyone had this happen?
