Interest charge for changing D/D date

Hi guys,
my salary date is changing so I phones up mortgage company to change direct debit.
They say for changing from the 19th to the 25th will cost me £76
I can't see what difference it makes. It's the same month. I could maybe understand if it was the next month. Plus, I changed from 31st a few years ago at no cost and no interest refund.
I don't think they are right, what do you guys think?

Who is your mortgage with?
Some are in advance and some are in arrears.
Interest is calculated on a daily basis so they are lending you for an extra few days so it!!!8217;s correct that they charge you.0 -
Assuming that is the interest chargeable between those two dates (and not a separate fee) and that the £76 is paid against your mortgage account then it isn't actually costing you any money.
It does have a cash flow impact - ie you need to find/have available the £76 now.
I assume that the size of your mortgage is greater than £100k?0
