Is there any money still in the account? I would still tell the OR about it anyway.

If there is nothing worrying about the old account just tell them ... they may, or may not, discover it themselves. If they do find it, without being told, they will be minded to look a little harder and deeper elsewhere and could take punative measures if they believe you have not been forthcoming with the facts.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.
