I mean, the context here is that a company stopped providing services after a bank cancelled a credit card they had been charging.

For all they know, your legitimate charges were the fraudulent charges that triggered the cancellation.

I cannot fathom why you keep using the term "expired" when that is a very different scenario to "cancelled by the issuing bank".

I dunno man, it wasn't me having a breakdown in public because I forgot to update a biller after I cancelled my card.
