Reasoning

Financial difficulty with bank loan is a reported allegation about personal financial distress, not trafficking activity. While financial desperation can theoretically motivate exploitation, this isolated bank loan default shows no procurement, coercion, or exploitation of persons and does not meet trafficking signal threshold.
