Answer:This would be where one type of liability is exchanged for another liability.

Example

The firm has Accounts Payable that are due. Since they are short of cash, the firm agrees with one supplier that the firm receives an extention of 2 months, with 5% annual interest.

The invoice now needs to be categorized as a note payable. As a result accounts payable is reduced and notes payable increase.

This would increase either the Account Payable or Note Payable accounts.A transaction that would decrease these are actual payments you make to the person/company you owe, hence lowering the balance of how much is owed.For example, I purchase a truck costing $15,000, that transaction has increased my liability in notes payable.
