If you have been paying CMS as you should, then firstly they should allow you to continue with direct pay. Secondly, if you have missed payments then I'd be very surprised that they haven't contacted you with at least one warning letter.
It might be worth checking with your employer exactly what they've received? Could even be that your ex has written to them pretending to be the CMS?!
If it does go to direct pay you have to pay 20% extra, but I believe she loses a small amount too.
Failing all that, I'd speak to the CMS and ask why this is happening?

It sounds she is telling the CMS that she has been not receiving any CM from you on the off chance they may backdate it. I hope you can prove any payments to her.If you have been paying CMS as you should, then firstly they should allow you to continue with direct pay.

Its odd for them to bypass you and go straight to your employer, they don't need any info from them as your P60 will be the basis of any payments demand and yes you will get an extra 20% added to any amount to pay CMS and she will lose only 4%.
