What to do if I filed a lien against a person who owed me money but afterward I received a letter from their lawyer that they had filed Chapter 7?

I was told that although I was unaware of the filing, I am prohibited from pursuing this claim and was ordered to remove the judgement before I was sued in return by her. Must I remove this judgement and mark it as “dismissed as a matter of bankruptcy” with the credit bureaus and county I filed the lein in?
