If you have been sued, you will be found liable, unless you timely file with the court and serve opposing counsel, with a response, setting forth your affirmative defenses. Your attorney can explain further.

One of your defenses is the statute of limitation, which in Nevada is 6 years. Since it is 9 years from the date of the bankruptcy, I am sure you have that defense.
If you are not represented, I would do it relatively cheaply and would get your legal fees back.
