Well, your situation is still better than mine. I sent application on Nov 02 2013, and it was received on Nov 05. I received an acknowledgement letter so far, but I haven't received a COA . I am beginning to get worried too .
Does anyone have any idea how to contact HO to request the COA ?

actually i am not intending to contact them. i had abad experience with our eea3/4 apps where after contacting them to ask about our progress (after 8 months) the guy on the phone said its still not processed, but 2 days later received our passes stating: we are returning your passports as per your (our) request. Yes! i know!!
a week later refusal for insufficient evidence of my wife's self employment.
THEREFORE talk to them let them keep those documents and stare at them as long as they want. this whole thing has made me sick.
