I’m not sure specifically what context we’re talking about. In court, sure. Talking to debt collectors? They aren’t the police, in the very least you aren’t under any obligation to answer any questions you don’t want to, right?

I don’t recall, I’d have to look in my records, why don’t you send me whatever proof you have and I’ll if I can find anything?

These are pretty slimy businesses, they should be treated as such.

As far as the question of if something is or isn't fraud, why would the context matter? As far as I know fraud has nothing to do with perjury or being under oath. If you intentionally lie to a debt collector in order to get out of a legitimate debt, I think that would fit the definition of fraud.
