The statute of limitations is based on age of last activity on the account, not how old the debt is. If you have paid on it or even promised to pay, they can garnish your wages or issue a lien on your home.

Can a third party creditor garnish wages for a foreclosure on a home loan that is over 10 years old and has already been removed from your credit report?
No one can garnish anything unless they sue you first and win a judgment. If the statute of limitations has expired on the debt, then you would have an affirmative defense in court should you be sued. The SOL period depends on state law. A 10 year old debt, however, should NOT be on your credit reports and can not be reinserted.

Can i apply this year's paid taxes to previous year?
No, but if you have a refund on your tax return, it will offset to your tax debt from a prior year. Of course, an expected tax refund won't keep the IRS or state tax agency from taking other collection actions. They may garnish your bank accounts or wages to pay your tax debt. It's best not to count on an expected refund to pay off your prior debts and instead arrange a payment plan. The sooner you pay your tax debt from the prior year, the less interest you'll have to pay. Often the interest rate increases significantly when your debt isn't paid soon enough.
Can a lawyer hired by a collection agency garnish you wages or put a lean on your house on a debt over 10years old even if you stopped paying on it 1 year ago?
Yes first they have to get a judgment against you but the fact that it is over 10 years old is irrelevant It is your last payment that keeps the statute of limitations going and they vary from state to state and depending on what the original debt was for. If your last payment was about a year ago you will have awhile before they can't pursue you anymore.
Can a collection agency garnish your wages on a debt that is 11 years old?
All US states have a statute of limitations concerning the collection of debts. The longest SOL is 6 years, that being the case it is unlikely that the court would allow a creditor or collector to file suit in an eleven year old case. Be advised, it is the responsibility of the debtor to use an expired SOL as a defense when faced with a lawsuit. Wages cannot be garnished without a valid judgment having been awarded by the court.
