Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Georgia

rights as an individual creditor

A Fellow who owed me approx. 15,000 dollars on a contract purchase declared bankruptcy (Chap. 7) but did not list me on his list of creditors. I never received any notice that he intended to declare Chap. & at all - is there any chance I could collect the debt?
