Mini claims court.. Help (ASAP)

Here is the situation.
Me(19) and my cousin(27) we joined gym on start of may. We paid each 27euro this was like joiners money, and 25 for a month membership. As I had my Leaving Cert exams. I didn't go to GYM (stopped going on end of may). But I still have applied for a direct debit..The gym's boss was ;like crazy asking me all the time to give my bank acc., details.. I have no money in my bank acc., and nothing seems to be taken off. Well obviously they can't take anything away if there is nothing in it. The gym's boss knew that I have Leaving Cert. But the crazy thing which I'm confused about is:
My cousin got a letter 2nd time that he has to pay roughly 40 euro for the gym, but he rang to gym and he told that - he hasn't went to gym this month ,but gym still needs the money...(my cousin isn't fluent English speaker) So my cousin understood that the gym's boss was saying that he has applied for a year membership, but I can't remember my cousin saying that, but I know we both signed papers ( I remember that I signed direct debit document), but my cousin didn't applied for direct debit because he didn't have one.. , Letter says: if he doesn't pay the bill he will be added in debt collectors list -something like that. Also why the heck my cousin is getting these letters but I'm not..?? We both are thinking going to mini claims court ,but is there a point???
