Can only 1 person close a joint checking account?

It turns out that the answer is yes, which was rather a surprise to me. A person I know closed her joint checking account (with her husband) after her divorce, because he kept overdrawing on the account. She tried to have her name removed from the account, but they wouldn't do that without him; however, bizarrely, they were perfectly happy to simply close the account on her say-so. (This may have been practical: they may have just decided "it's better for us to close the account than to take the one person who actually puts money IN off the account.")

The collection agency will attempt to collect the debt through phone calls to you, letters requesting payment, and possibly seeking a judgment against you in court and garnishment of your wages if you are employed.
