shall extinguish, shall be extinguished
Explanation:
Debts "extinguish" in English too, just as they do in French. In sticking close to the French here, you have the opportunity to use the very specific terminology for the context.

Further points:
- the use of "shall" may be better here. Depends on how you are dealing with this overall.
- passive voice : may be a more natural solution here, again, depends on other choices relating to register.

Comment: I think in saying "the pledge will be automatic", you miss the key meaning altogether I'm afraid. It does not account for the meaning of the main verb "éteindre"!

Sorry, I forgot to cite a source. Google debt + extinguish until you find something to suit.
