Xbox live gold with expired credit card?

My credit card was gonna expire back in february so instead of going through the trouble of calling someone in India to get it cancelled I just didn't do anything hoping it will set me back to silver as soon as they were unable to charge me.

I stopped connecting to live, played only SP games for a while but today I connected to see if I could download some stuff from the marketplace and realized I still have Gold.... I know I have been getting emails saying they were unable to charge me and they will cancel my subscription but apparently it hasn't happened yet.

Anyone familiar with what happens now? can MS mail me a bill later for the past few months? can they lock my gamertag or something?

If your card has expired, ofcourse microsoft cannot debit your account as the "expirydate" on the card would have changed. What will happen is that they will soon suspend your account and you'll no longer be able to connect to Xbox Live (Not even as a silver member) until you pay off your subscription.
