Trying to understand my situation !!

Since joining this site a few days ago,i have trawled (is that the right word) through lost of threads,tying to make sense of my own situation,but think i am confusing myself :(.
So if i give you a run down,could anyone correct me?put me straight please.
Ok..went on my credit report,Experian & Equifax..and some of the debts i have been paying ,to DCA's,are not on there.
1.Original debt,Citicard :£928.Not on reports.Agreed with Capquest last august to pay £5.00 p.m.which i have been doing.So i guess i just bumble on paying this at the same rate,no pressure.
2.Vanquis £787.Entered on file as default by Cabot April 2008.I have not been in contact with them at all,thou Ruthbridge did write to me last august,but i still have not communicated.Should i ?
3.this one is very confusing to me..Citi financial loan,about 8 yrs ago £2500.Put as a default by 1st Credit,april 2008,balance of £4,343.There is no record of any payments by myself on the file,but i have been paying Mackencie Hall £25 a month (sparodically) for 2yrs on this debt, ,though Mackenzie Hall is not on my credit file.Does that mean,i can carry on as i am,paying M.H.and then in 2014 the 1st credit will disappear off my file.If this is the case,my report will improve sooner than i thought.
Can anyone help..Thankyou if you can :)

    Ok you may be right not all of them are reporting. There are 3 credit agencies/

    I think the key thing is the payments and when you last paid. I don't know if this could be classed as acknowledging you debt

    Thankyou so much for replying :-)..its this 1st Credit/Mackenzie hall thing i don't get..my understanding is in 2 yrs time,the 1st credit will be gone off my report..but i still carry on paying Mackenzie hall,until its paid up,without it being on my file !!! so confused.....
