What to do if my son signed a contract with the gym after a free tryout but called to cancel the same day yet it was never canceled?

The head trainer told him he would take care of it. He never did and my son was not refunded the initial money he was charged and never told he needed to sign anything. I found this out when my account was erroneously charged $140 for the continuation of the services which was refunded. There are several problems with the contract such as: my name appears on the contract as though it was with me, there are date and amount discrepancies. What course of action should I take? Self represent in small claims court?

If the amount that was not refunded was charged to a credit card, it would be a simpler thing to put the charge in dispute with the credit card company.  If not, and if you can not resolve the dispute with a demand letter, then small claims court may be the way to go.
