I had a judgement against me in 2002. Today my employer received a income execution notice for this judgement (rent)and it states that there will be interest from that date. The info such as my date of birth and social security # are completely wrong. I need to know if they are able to come after me know after 11 years<

They may have renewed the judgement and the only way for you to find out is to contact the Courthouse where you had the judgment entered against you to see if they have renewed it or not. If it has been renewed, then, yes, they can come after you after 11 years. But if the judgment has not been renewed, they cannot. Speak to the Clerk of Courts with your case number to make sure what is going on.

Most judgments run from 7-10 years but are renewable. If the judgment was awarded in 2002, then its very possible it is still in effect. Since they got a court to issue a writ of execution I would suspect the judgment is still in force.

The DOB and SS# may be why they couldn't find you until now.

Some states have judgments in place for 20 years, not just 7-10 years. Ohio has 21 years for judgments (renewable every 5 years).

Here is a handy list of states and judgment laws.

State collection laws, interest rates, collection agency requirements, garnishments and statutes of limitations for debts and judgments

Sorry but if a judgment is renewable every 5 years, then it is not for 21 years. Its for 5 years. The site you linked to is rather misleading. We don't know whether some of those statements represent a maximum time or whether it's the base time. My research indicated that most areas have a base term of 7-10 years renewable at least once. Therefore my statement that if a judgment was awarded in 2002 it would most likely, still be in effect.
