Willoughby Surgery: Foundation Course Q&A, Debt Challenges and Utility Disputes

from Charles Fernandez · host Charles Fernandez

This week on the Willoughby Surgery, I walked listeners through the opening stages of our Foundation Course and explained why I believe they matter. I focused first on "claiming your name" by setting up a limited company, then on registering a trademark, sharing how these steps fit into the wider structure I teach around personal protection, jurisdiction, and dealing with official systems. I also explained how the Foundation Course is designed as a sequence of steps, and why I want members to understand not just what to do, but the reasoning behind each part.In the second half, we opened the floor to live questions from the Zoom room and covered a wide range of practical concerns, including speeding tickets, dormant companies, car ownership and keeper arrangements, TV Licensing doorstep visits, utility disputes, pay-as-you-go meter threats, debt collection, DSARs, GDPR-based challenges, and how the Challenger and Data Busters training fit into all of this. It was a lively session with plenty of real-world examples, and a useful introduction for newer members trying to understand both the Foundation Course and the wider Willoughby ecosystem.Food For Thought Radio: https://www.fftradio.com/Willoughby Surgery: https://willoughbysurgery.uk/Charles-edward Fernandez / Willoughby Trinity: https://www.willoughbytrinity.com/Community Assembly of the British Isles (CABI): https://www.ca-britishisles.com/Community Assemblies page (John Gilbert / CABI context): https://www.ca-britishisles.com/community-assembliesCrystal Water Experience (Dr Jo Whitaker): https://crystalwaterexperience.com/about-us/Crystal Water: https://www.crystal-water.com/Weekend Truth Festival: https://weekendtruthfestival.co.uk/Companies House: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/Apply to register a UK trade mark: https://www.gov.uk/how-to-register-a-trade-mark/start-your-applicationCompare the Market: https://www.comparethemarket.com/inside-ctm/who-we-are/about-us/Ring Video Doorbells: https://ring.com/gb/en/support/products/doorbellsDiscord: https://discord.com/Zoom: https://zoom.us/Information Commissioner's Office (ICO): https://ico.org.uk/Financial Conduct Authority (FCA): https://www.fca.org.uk/Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA): https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/driver-and-vehicle-licensing-agency/aboutLowell: https://www.lowell.co.uk/Link Financial Outsourcing: https://linkfinancial.eu/Lantern Debt Recovery Services: https://lanternuk.com/Marston Holdings: https://marstonholdings.uk/Marston Financial Services Limited: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/03005457Amigo Loans: https://www.amigoloans.co.uk/mobile-appToyota UK Magazine: https://mag.toyota.co.uk/Road Traffic Act 1988 (PDF): https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/52/pdfs/ukpga_19880052_en.pdfTribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007: https://www.legislation.uk/tribunals-courts-and-enforcement-act-2007Gas Act 1986 (PDF): https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1986/44/pdfs/ukpga_19860044_en.pdfElectricity Act 1989 (PDF): https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1989/29/pdfs/ukpga_19890029_en.pdf?view=extent&wrap=true
