I am trying to create a chatbot for banking. Flow is,

User: hi Bot: Welcome to ABC bank services. Let me know your name? User: Kabeer Bot: Hi kabeer, how can i help you?  
Buttons:  
1: Loan (/inform{“service\_type”:“Loan”})  
2: Deposit (/inform{“service\_type”:“Deposit”})  
3: Account  
Types (/inform{“service\_type”:“Account Types”})  
4: Customer Support No (/inform{“service\_type”:“Customer Support No”})  
5: Service Request  
(/inform{“service\_type”:“Service Request”})  
6: Careers (/inform{“service\_type”:“Careers”})  
Type out your own message…  
User: 1: Loan (/inform{“service\_type”:“Loan”})  
Bot:Please select the required Loan type from the list  
Buttons:  
1: Personal Loan (/inform{“loan\_type”:“Personal Loan”})  
2: Home Loan  
(/inform{“loan\_type”:“Home Loan”})  
3: Two-wheeler Loan (/inform{“loan\_type”:“Two-wheeler Loan”})  
4: Car Loan  
(/inform{“loan\_type”:“Car Loan”})  
5: Gold Loan (/inform{“loan\_type”:“Gold Loan”})  
Type out your own message…  
User:Car Loan (/inform{“loan\_type”:“Car Loan”}) Bot: Uttering home loan here. Issue is the bot always utter home loan only. The bot is not recognise the stories for other loans using entity. How can i make this work? I used `inform` intent because of i thought it will cause **[similar intnent](https://blog.rasa.com/rasa-nlu-in-depth-part-1-intent-classification/)** problem

Here is my code.
