Question about eviction and small claims court?

Recently (sometime at the end of March) I went to court to evict a tenant in Bucks County Pennsylvania. The court didn’t ask for a ssn only a name and address on the form I filled out. My question is will this eviction be on his record and how would the court or credit bureau know who he is without a ssn?
Also I checked on the district courts website and the case number gives me no result! I find it unfair if this man and his family lived on my property for over 4 months without paying rent and it won’t even be on record…

You are confused regarding the function of the court system.
In your case, it is the responsibility of the court to assess the facts presented to it and make a determination as to whether your petition for tenant eviction has merit and should be ordered. If ordered, then the tenant must comply with the order or be removed from the property by your county sheriff.
The court has nothing to do with credit bureaus or credit reporting. Absolutely nothing.

Call the County Clerk’s office. They can tell you the answer.

Evictions don’t go on credit reports generally…
There are services for landlords that do an eviction check on people, however. Those services use public records like unlawful detainer suit filings…
