Vis on a bank statement usually means visa debit card

Have you tried contacting the bank

They usually do 24 hour banking

You say you have a boiler cover with British Gas but not Gas or Electric supplied by them, the 2 payments from your bank account taken, are these the first payments taken for your cover. i have Boiler cover with them you should have a letter stating when you have signed up and how much and when they start. Check your bank statements or account online to see if perhaps last months payment was returned for some reason and two have been debited now, the bank will be able to tell you the start date of the Direct Debit and payments made to date.

Looking at my agreement contact number for Home Cover 0333 200 8899 says 24/7

Have you tried 0333 202 9532? British Gas reckon this is a quick way to speak to a customer services rep.

Any good -
British Gas - Contact us - 0333 202 9821

Mon-Fri 8am - 8pm
Sat 8am - 6pm

Is your bank contactable on a Saturday so you can ask if they have any info on where the payment request originated from - may be different so offer a clue?

If you get the run around trying to get to actually speak to a person, I sometimes ignore all the push x numbers and get through to someone.
