Answer:
This would depend on whether the accounts are at the same bank as the accounts, as well as the terms of the credit and deposit agreements. If a bank is owed money they can generally hold or apply funds you hold in the bank to your debt to them. The fact that it is a joint account usually would not matter since joint means you own it equally with the joint account person.
