More than likely, no. Once an account has been deleted, it's gone. You can try asking Support but they may not be able to assist you.

Hey AnthonyMondz 

Thanks for getting in touch on the Community, we'd like to welcome you & we hope that you enjoy it here!
 
Just to clarify, you mention that your account got closed. Did you delete your account or was it closed due to inactivity
 
Once I have this piece of info, I'll send over more details about it. 
 
Kind regards, 
JaneA

Hey @emekusfbi, as we can only proceed with account-specific matters via our Official Support channel (we’ll need to have direct access to your account details in order to further advise on the matter), I’ve made sure to reach out to you on my end, since I couldn’t locate an open support request on our system. I also removed your email address, as this is a public Forum & anything you post us is visible to anyone visiting this thread. 
 
Whenever you have some spare time, please have a look at your inbox for my email & I’ll make sure to promptly follow-up with you asap. Thanks for checking in with us on the Forum & I’m looking forward to hearing back from you!
