GI ltd is a gala bingo debit formerly gala coral

I thought i would put this as it just freaked me out seeing 2 small debits going out my account to them 2 days in a row. Barclays seemed clueless they could not find gi ltd either. Then i said its nothing to do with gala bingo is it ? and they checked and it was. I rang gala bingo to double check and they said no eeeeek. Then they went to double check and said yes it is us due to the new website and lots of changes. So its new change and its not fraud panic over.

  • I had the same thing this morning, panicked when noticed GI Ltd had taken two amounts from my account. Thankyou for posting this answer, otherwise it would have been a trip to the bank today.I think Gala should email its customers with this information, how many more people are going to wonder who GI LTD is!

    Surely nobody has given a bingo firm a Direct Debit authority?

    Think innovate was dreaming again.

    Think you may be right, there wasn't any mention of Direct debit... not sure where I got this from.

    I did enjoy the dream :cool:, and was probably totally befuddled by the fact that anyone would "freak out" or "panic" about several spurious payments from their debit cards, but then be relieved when they found out it was just 'GI ltd, formerly gala bingo'. And having to go on a money saving forum to say they were relieved to find a bingo firm had taken several payments from their debit card.
