Hello Kelly, I haven't gone through this myself yet. But Fermi's sticky about clean up your credit files takes you through this x

Both are incorrect.
The default dates should be your BR date or before. One is incorrect by just a few days, but the other is several months out.
Also on both, they still list an outstanding current balance. The current balance should be marked as settled/satisfied. Perhaps with an indicator to say a partial settlement, which is acceptable for a BR debt. HSBC normally do that.
As said, see the link for further info on getting them corrected.Free/impartial debt advice: National Debtline | StepChange Debt Charity | Find your local CAB
