Read your account disclosures. There may be a clause that calls for cross-collateralization or cross-account offset. If you misuse one account, they may have the right to offset funds in another account held by one of the responsible parties. For example, if John is a co-signer on an signature loan under account "A" that is held joint with Cindy and payments are not made, they may be able to reach into account "b" held solely by John and recover payments.
