In general, when you file for bankruptcy, you are protected by the "automatic stay." The automatic stay prohibits creditors from taking action to collect the debt or from taking your property. In some cases, the creditor will ask the court for permission to continue efforts to collect the debt by filing a motion for relief from the stay. For example, this is may be done by a creditor who wants to continue foreclosure proceedings on a house or seek repossession of a vehicle.

You are strongly advised to contact a bankruptcy attorney if a motion for relief from stay is filed in your case.
