What you will make
Three private messages — gentle reminder, specific-date request, and an installment option you are actually willing to offer.
What you need
Relationship, amount, promised or due date if known, short factual context, and any installment terms you can truly keep.
Before you start
Do not paste addresses, IDs, bank details, screenshots of chats, or public profile links. This is communication help, not legal debt-collection advice.
What to do
- Write the amount, the promised or due date, and what outcome you want.
- Decide whether you can genuinely offer an installment plan.
- Paste the prompt and generate the three private messages.
- Remove any invented promise or accusation, then send only through a private channel.
Try this prompt
Offer installment wording only when you supplied real terms.
Write three short, private Taglish messages that help me follow up on an overdue personal debt respectfully.
FACTS
Relationship: [FRIEND / RELATIVE / COLLEAGUE / OTHER]
Amount owed: ₱[AMOUNT / TO CONFIRM]
Original promised/due date: [DATE / TO CONFIRM]
What has already been agreed or said: [FACTS / NONE]
Context worth acknowledging: [SHORT FACTUAL CONTEXT / NONE]
Preferred tone: [WARM / NEUTRAL / FIRM-BUT-RESPECTFUL]
Installment terms I am genuinely willing to offer: [EXACT TERMS / NONE]
WRITE
1. Gentle reminder — warm, natural and brief.
2. Clear follow-up — respectfully ask the person to give a specific realistic payment date.
3. Installment option — include this only if I supplied actual terms I am willing to accept.
RULES
- Keep each suitable for a private SMS/Messenger chat and easy to edit before sending.
- Use only the amount, dates and agreements I supplied. Missing key facts = neutral wording or “To confirm”; never invent them.
- Do not invent interest, penalties, deadlines, promises, legal rights, legal action or consequences.
- No threats, insults, humiliation, guilt manipulation, repeated-pressure tactics, public shaming, contacting relatives/employers, impersonation, or disclosure of the debt to other people.
- Do not claim the person is dishonest or refusing to pay unless I supplied a factual basis and explicitly want that fact stated.
- Do not send anything for me.
After the three drafts, give me a 3-item check: amount/date accurate, tone respectful, and offered installment terms exactly match what I am willing to accept.See a sample result
Illustrative example. Your answer may differ.
Input (illustrative): Friend. ₱2,000. Promised 15 September. Context: borrowed for a school fee. Tone: warm. Installment: ₱1,000 on 30 September and ₱1,000 on 15 October. Example result: (1) Gentle hello and soft reminder of the ₱2,000. (2) Polite ask for a firm payment date. (3) Clear installment offer matching the terms supplied. No threats.
Before you use it: Confirm the amount and dates before sending. Keep it private. Do not post about the debt, invent a legal deadline, or pressure with fake penalties.
Try this follow-up
Give me an English-only version of the same three messages. Keep the amount and dates unchanged.
If the answer is not right
If a draft adds a threat, fake penalty, public shaming line, or invented agreement, delete it and ask for a respectful rewrite.
Philippine notes
- Separate from the sari-sari store capital/utang guide, which is about store money tracking.
- If you need a written promissory note, that is a different lesson and stays outside this chat helper.
