As far as I know, yes. If small claims court decides you owe and your creditor forwards this to the credit bureaus it will be posted on your credit report.
As a solicitor, yes they are. All judgments whether in the small claims court or higher court are recorded on your credit file. I have used this fact to good effect a couple of times with non-paying buyers on Ebay. Even though it would probably cost me more than some of the items are worth, the very fact that someone could have their credit record blemished is often enough to stump the buyer into coughing up. Of course, the court may find in their favour, but it might not which is a risk a lot of people don't want to take, especially if it means that they might not get a mortgage, or a bank account or a bank loan because of it.
