Answer:
If the debtor failed to list or schedule your debt on his bankruptcy forms and you had no notice or actual knowledge of the bankruptcy, the debt was not discharged in the out of state bankruptcy proceeding. Request a copy of his bankruptcy petition or the case number and the court location. You can contact the clerk of the applicable bankruptcy court and request copies of the records. If the debt was not scheduled and you had no notice, you can still collect the debt.
