If the corporation filed a Chapter 7 case, then you should file a proof of claim with the bankruptcy court so you can share in any distribution from the Trustee. If you did not receive notice, you should be allowed to file a late claim (assuming it is late at this point--it all depends on what deadlines have been set in the case).
