    It seems unnecessary to accuse OP [or rather OP's partner] of lying [OP's partner is not here to defend] in quite unequivocal terms when you have nothing more than a basis to suggest this as a possibility. But as you are comfortable doing that, then you can take a knock yourself.

    I'm glad you deleted your comparison of the year a car was built to a credit card. That wasn't very intelligent.

    Anyway, I'm not clear if you disagree with me. Either I'm right or there's a complex, convoluted set of scenarios which legitimises OP's story. I guess we'll find out more when they return.

    If my mother had ran up a 7k debt in my name, without my knowledge. I would be calling the Police not making a full payment!! Considering the debt has been outstanding for 15 years, it's unlikely that the mom will be able to promptly repair this money to her son. 7k can go a long way when purchasing a house, so I won't have it spare to pay off a fraudulent transactions (family or not)!!

    There are lots of scenarios which could give rise to OP's post. Including OP's partner telling lies. And others where partner is telling the truth.

    Although I did delete some text, I did not compare the year a car was built to a credit card. But I agree with you, it would have been more intelligent not to delete the text, because it does show that you have a rather loose grip on the actual meaning of text.

    Why don't you just post it again then? Exactly as before.

    You've lost credibility with me and I'm the only one responding to you. It's not fun anymore now that, like the OP's partner, you've become flexible with the truth.

    Cos I don't crave credibility with you.

    As I said, I think you have a poor grasp of what things mean. At present, it is not demonstrably true that OP's partner is telling lies. but to you, that is the truth. So your judgement that I am flexible with the truth cuts no ice with me.

    I'm not really sure why you ended up behaving in this way.

    You correctly explained that there were alternative theories to explain the events in the OP. We agree, although may disagree on the likelihood.

    It was unnecessary for you to react in an inflammatory manner, delete your post and then lie about it.

    There's no point in me engaging with you further, so let's just move on.

    Your accusations of lies come too easily. I certainly have not lied. I have certainly admitted to deleting a post. And I have challenged your misrepresentation of what I deleted. Methinks you complain too much about me being inflammatory.

    Calling someone a liar and demanding that it be the last word is quite contemptible.
