Defaults settled and Credit Checks from LA

I am hoping to move after June when my wee one is born and I am paying off 3 defaults on my credit report this month so they will be marked as "satisfied".
If they are marked a such does it still go against me that they are registered on there?
Someone advised me that if Im credit checked by a letting agency as they are marked as satisfied the Letting Agency wont see them as they have been dealt with, but this doesnt sound right to me :huh:
Will the fact that I have defaults even tho they have been paid still go against me?

A default will stay on your file for 6 years and any lender will see them satisfied or not - defaults hurt you credit profile quite a bit but i do know satisfied defaults look more favourably - you won't get any main stream credit with them on there.The only real security that a man can have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience and ability.0

I thought a Letting Agent would be able to see them. Here's hoping they take into consideration they are settled0
