Credit File Clean Up After a DRO

I would like to start rebuilding my credit score but have applied for Capital One and Vanquis and been refused.

I have got my 3 £2 statutory credit reports, and they show many of my debts which were included in the DRO are still defaulted or active. I am also still receiving some statements and new cards from 'dead' debts that were included in the DRO.

Also, I was discharged from my DRO on 27/10/10, but one of the creditors marked my account as satisfied only on 1/4/11.

How do I get my other creditors to update my credit files to mark them as settled, and is it worth getting the 1 that is settled with the wrong date to correct it?
