You needn't worry yourself about that, just mail them to correct this and you should receive a new COA with the correct details. Good luck.

I would keep a copy of the COA, send them the original by "Recorded Post" and accompany both with a cover letter, this way you can track your mail in case it get's lost in limbo.

these people can't get simple things right!!

I wouldn't be surprised if their eraser at the end of the pencil wears out quicker than the pencil itself...
