Assuming the debtor does not voluntarily release the information for collection to the collector due civil process is required before such action can occur. The general steps are:
The collector/creditor will file a civil suit against the debtor, win the suit (which is almost certain to happen); be awarded a judgment then execute the judgment as a levy against the judgment debtor's bank account.

A collection agency can take 100% of the money in your joint banking accounts, regardless of who deposited it. If the debt is owed, and there are assets in the name of the debtor, those assets are in jeopardy. It is not easy to hide these even by trying to shelter them in an account with someone else's name. If the asset exists, it will be found in most cases, and a collection agency that locates it will take all they can the first time they hit it.

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!
