    Yes, but I was unaware, they sent the correspondence to the wrong address.

    Would you have defended the claim if you were aware of it?

    Would you have offered to pay by instalments?

    When did you sell the house?

    If within 2 years of going bankrupt the OR can undo the  transaction through the courts,  if the intention was to avoid creditors. 

    Similarly, depending on what debts were paid, these can be  challenged  by OR. 

    If the sale was 5 or more years prior to bankruptcy  then it is safe.
