I have recently created a new AWS account for deploying some microservices my company uses on here. Our old account was destroyed. The issue is some old component uses a elastic IP that resolved to a box on our old account.

I am unable to reclaim that elastic ip from my new account. From the documentation i see that if that ip has been released, then one can claim it. I can verify it's not claimed since there's nothing running on it. Any ideas?

You can’t request a specific Elastic IP that has previously been allocated to another account. You can only reclaim your EIP that has accidentally been released from the same account and only for a limited time.

Obtain a new Elastic IP and update your DNS. Problem sorted :)
