HELP!!!!! CMS are a nightmare

[Harry Potter]

Help please…….

After 6 months of a private arrangement ex-started a CMS case claiming I only have 2 nights per week on average when I actually have 3 and that is well documented between both of us.

CMS say they only rely on what she tells them as that is what the legislation says?? So without a court order I can’t prove that I have 3 nights per week on average.

Also, I’ve already paid my ex-wife maintenance for April but CMS have put an assessment on me from 19th April so now I have to ask my ex-kindly to have some money returned.

This is ludicrous!

Anonymous it’s quite a lot extra I’d be paying but what I don’t like is the ability to lie unchallenged by the CMS.

She went to the CMS because she tried to tell me I was having less than 3/week and asked for more money even though we have emails, texts and a spreadsheet detailing the arrangements. Naturally I said I am having 3 but seems she can go to the CMS and say what she likes without proof

I wasn’t underpaying, I’ll be paying too much as the CMS are assessing on the wrong number of nights

Perhaps read what’s I’ve written before making assumptions?
