They should be taking it according to what they stated when you set it up. My health lottery ones varies between the 12th and 14th but the dates are clearly stated in the spp. If you bank with Monzo they show you upcoming direct debits a few days in advance (the actual direct debit they csn see coming through the system rather than a prediction)
The only 2 I have seen that had this variance are Santander (took a DD earlier when the DD date was on the weekend) and Barclays who have a strange billing cycle that I can never remember which means it varies by 2-3 days and thus, maybe 5 if it's landing on a weekend! Barclays at least email you to tell you the DD date
My last few were taken on these dates but not sure when the DD was due as these were all Mondays

Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
