Context you provide

  • {{debts}}: List of debts with type, outstanding balance, and interest rate.
  • {{financial_situation}}: Your monthly income and expenses.
  • {{preferences}}: Any preferences for consolidation methods (e.g., personal loan, balance transfer).

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing information from the context before proceeding.
  2. Organize the provided debts into a clear table showing type, balance, interest rate, and minimum payment if available.
  3. Calculate a realistic monthly payment based on the financial situation, ensuring it fits within disposable income.
  4. Recommend the most suitable consolidation options (e.g., personal loan, balance transfer, credit counseling) with pros and cons for each.
  5. Provide a step-by-step action plan to execute the consolidation, including timeline and considerations for credit score impact.

Output format Provide a structured response with sections: Debt Summary, Affordability Analysis, Recommended Options, and Action Plan. Use tables and bullet points for clarity. Tone: professional and supportive.

Guardrails Do not invent specific interest rates or terms; use general market ranges and flag them as estimates. Do not provide legal or tax advice. Stay focused on debt consolidation, not broader financial planning.

Example Debts: credit card ($5,000 at 22% APR), personal loan ($10,000 at 12%), car loan ($15,000 at 6%); income $4,500/month, expenses $3,200.

Follow-ups What are the trade-offs between a personal loan and a balance transfer card for my situation? How can I avoid common pitfalls during consolidation? What timeline should I follow to apply for a consolidation loan?
