When can/must defaults be added?

Hi,
I am in the fortunate position of having completed my IVA and the vast majority of my credit file being cleared (after the 6 year point) at the end of this month. However, there are one or two entries which show a default date long after what they should be. I know that a default date cannot be added after the acceptance of the IVA, but I also believe that the two remaining accounts would have defaulted earlier than that (at the end of March, the same as the others).
Obviously I would like my credit file to look nice and sparkly as early as possible, so I plan to write to these two companies with the IVA evidence to show that the dates need to be changed, but can i get them to put the date back even earlier? Are the companies obliged to put a default on straight away or can they hold off for a few months? I know i'll probably be p***ing in the wind trying to get it changed to earlier than the acceptance of the IVA, but any ideas on when they could/should have added the defaults and what I could use to prove it was earlier? I definitely know when everything defaulted because it was when my wife became extremely ill and our world pretty much fell apart.
Any thoughts would be welcome. Thank you.
