Default on Promissory Note & Personal Guarantee

My stock in a privately held corporation was purchased by the majority stock holder. This purchase was a baloon promissory note that was personally guaranteed by the majority stock holder. The corporation has been appoved for bankruptcy re-organization and the note discounted to 3% of face value paid over 6 years. I would like to pursue the personal guarantee and need to know what the time limit is to file within.

Thanks You
