File a proof of claim before the deadline so you are recognized as a creditor and can share in any distribution. A creditor's attorney can review the filing, object to the discharge of your debt where grounds exist, and make sure secured collateral and priority claims are treated correctly.
No. The automatic stay halts collection, lawsuits, and repossession the moment a case is filed, and violating it can expose you to sanctions. A creditor's lawyer can move for relief from the stay to pursue collateral, or negotiate adequate protection, instead of acting on your own.
A preference is a payment the debtor made to a creditor shortly before filing (generally within 90 days, or one year for insiders) that the trustee can claw back to treat creditors equally. Defenses exist, such as payments made in the ordinary course of business, so a creditor facing a preference demand should get counsel before repaying anything.
