Yes, if a collection agency files a lawsuit and is awarded a judgment against the debtor. In the majority of U.S. states a judgment can be executed against bank accounts even those held jointly. The exception would be a marital account held in Tenancy By The Entirety (TBE) when only one spouse is the judgment debtor.

Can collection agencies take money from a joint savings account?
This may depend on the country your in, but I would suggest not. If the debt in question is a debt solely in your name, this will mean the other party on your joint account is not liable for your debt, so they cannot take funds from your joint account.
If you owe money to collections and you pay it can you get these items removed from your credit report?
It is always a good policy to attempt this. But whether or not you succeed in getting a paid collection account removed from your credit report is totally within the discretion of the creditor. There is no law that requires or compels credit reporting. The Fair Credit Reporting Act states that IF an account is reported, then it must be correct. Therefore, collection agencies and creditors usually will tell a consumer that they "must" by law report the accurate nature of the account, which would be a paid collection, as opposed to removing the account.
Does the creditor or the collection agency get the money you pay on a debt?
When a collection agency takes on a bad debt, in many cases they are "puchasing" the debt from the original creditor. When you then pay off the collection agency, your money will stay with that collection agency. This is the most common scenario, but some companies do have their own internal collection agencies (Capital One, for example, has their own collection subsidiary in Idaho - the Westmoreland Agency). Hope this helps!

Is Pro-Lab Software Inc hiring collection agents?
BEWARE! At first glance this appears legitimate but as my relationship with them progressed it gave me cause for concern. Their first request of me was to allow two existing clients pay their invoices to my personal account and have me forward the money, via money order, to the corporate bank account in Warsaw, Poland. I found this request to be highly suspicious and the request had the appearance of a money laundering scheme. I refused to allow the transaction and immediately alerted my banking institution and credit monitoring agencies.
