Based on the facts in your described situation, it appears that certain creditors in the bankruptcy are contesting the distribution of funds by the trustee. This is not unusual. You are not being sued but merely are involved in this argument over the funds. The bankruptcy judge will decide the issue based on the trustee's information and information from the opposing creditor.
