Can I recover unpaid rent from my tenant who filed bankruptcy ?

Hello,

one of our tenants had filed a bankruptcy (Chapter 13) and left our rental home with  unpaid rent of approx $3K. I went to the Creditor's meeting held at US bankruptcy court in Atlanta, GA. But the tenant did not show up. I filed a "motion" to the court requesting the court Not release the tenant from the unpaid rent. Few weeks later, I received a letter from the court asking me to pay $350 (I assumed this $350 make my filing valid), thus I mailed $350 check to the court, then I received  a receipt of $350 from the court. Now, I need to know what to do, as there was nothing mentioned in the receipt. I am going to ask the court what to do. However, If anyone can advise what should I do, it will be greatly appreciated.

thanks !
