As a creditor? The debt doesn't exist anymore, so you have nothing to collect (presuming it was in the BK and discharged). You can't collect it and it is illegal to try....if you believe fraud was committed or such in thr BK (like he hid assets that could have been used to pay you), bring it to the Court.
