A: They included your claim in the bankruptcy filing as a potential claim - they include every possible claim. They want to completely get rid of this liability and have listed it under expunged claims. If you do nothing, nothing happens, but you also will no longer have any rights to proceed on this claim. If you would like to fight for the claim, you must reply and object now.

A: I urge you to seek advice from a bankruptcy attorney. You have a deadline to deal with. The issue, however, may be that if you actually filed a lawsuit that was denied, then you may not have a claim any longer. But, there may be information in the documents contrary to this. Get legal assistance as soon as possible.
