Only if you signed the promissory notes, or in some other way agreed to be personally liable for a debt.
Banks often get a "personal guarantee" when a corporation incurs a debt; there are two signature lines, one for Mr. X acting on behalf of the corporation, and one for Mr. X personally. In other words, two separate entities are liable for the debt.
