Can someone come back after 10 years and try to make you pay a debt (much more than originally owed)?

The easy answer is no. If its a contractual debt, the generally rule of thumb is no more then 6 years past the contract date or last date of money borrowed. So 10 years would be past the date. They could still call you and send you letters to try to collect the debt, but if they filed a lawsuit, you could have it dismissed based on statute of limitations grounds. |
