Frequently asked questions

How do I receive the workbook?

Right after payment you are taken to your workbook page. Bookmark it: the link stays valid and always shows the latest version. To keep a copy, print it or save it as a PDF from your browser (Ctrl+P or Cmd+P, then “Save as PDF”). Stripe emails you the receipt.

What is the difference with the free state guide?

The free PDF guide explains the rules and programs in your state. The workbook is the working copy: worksheets, checklists, templates and comparison tables you fill in for your own loan. You can have both; the free guide stays free.

Is this financial or legal advice? Is Claude Loan a lender?

No. Claude Loan is an information publisher: not a lender, broker, law firm or advisor, with no NMLS license. The workbook quotes the official rules with their section numbers so you can check them; your lender and, if needed, a HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney give the answers that apply to you.

What if something is wrong or it does not work?

Write to us: if the workbook does not open, does not match its description or contains an error, we fix it, and if we cannot, we refund you. A duplicate payment is always refunded. See the refund policy in the terms of sale.

$19 is the total you pay: no tax or fee is added at checkout. Payment by Stripe (card, Apple Pay, Google Pay); your statement shows “OG* CLAUDE LOAN”. Sold by LACANGEL GROUP under the terms of sale, which include our refund policy. By buying you ask for immediate access to digital content. Claude Loan is an information publisher, not a lender or advisor; the workbook is not legal or financial advice.
