Question posted in the General Law category relating to Gauteng

My Ex partner whom I paid lobola has opened a fraud case against me for changing the the ownership of the cars that I bought with my pension fund.

I changed the ownership of the cars back to my name without her signature but with her consent over the phone because at her workplace they were told that the law doesn't allow them to be involved in the public transport business.

And the reason why I registered the cars under her name was because we wanted to increase her affordability to apply for a home loan since she was could not qualify due to her commitments and salary. The agreement was that when we have secured a home loan I would change the cars back to my name. 

Now that we separated she wants me to come back to her and if not she threatened to open a fraud case against me which I refused and as a result she did. 

The cars are working in uber.

Hi there,

I see that you haven't made a payment for the question, but I'm going to assist you a little. If you want to ask a follow-up question, please make the required payment.

Then you must contact the SAPS investigating officer and explain your story to him; that it was done with her specific agreement and there was a valid reason.
