Small overpayment has increased our monthly instalment?

Hi All
We're finally at the stage where we want to start paying off our mortgage. We're on a repayment mortgage with no fixed rate.
I paid £5 extra by standing order (using the details given by BOS), but today we've received a letter thanking us for the payment and telling us our new monthly payment amount. This has increased by £1.44 a month.
I'm not able to call them until tomorrow, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience like this?
Thank you.

It sound like a typo unless you have very stringent repayment penalties?0
