Booked Hotel A Year Ago, They Want To Charge A Canceled Card

Card image cap

Location: MA/WA Booked a hotel last year in Seattle for a trip I was thinking about. I canceled said trip 6 months ago and didn't think anything of it. Suddenly, I get a message from said hotel asking about my upcoming stay. I tell them there must be some mistake I canceled.

Apparently, Expedia group has had some issues and did not cancel my reservation. They also have some account tracking issues that didn't even let me see the reservation on my account. The hotel is now claiming its non refundable as it's too close to the reservation. I did not keep the cancellation email as I canceled 6 months ago, I kept it for 3-4 and did not see the reservation on my account so I deleted the email. Expedia is refusing to budge and neither is the hotel.

The card that I used to make the reservation was closed about 3-4 months ago since I got a different card. As such, the charge was declined, and they want new card info obviously. If I just...don't give them a new card to use, is there any issues besides being potentially banned from the hotel or the booking service?
