Are small claims judgments reported on your credit report?
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.

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.
