Explanation:

‘Unless’ is used to denote the condition i.e. ‘If’…… ‘Not’. So, again the use of negative word ‘not’ is superfluous. So, the phrase, ‘are not very’ needs to be replaced with ‘are very’ to make the sentence grammatically correct.
Thus, the correct formation would be, ‘Unless, you are very careful, you will run into debt’.
