Experian Credit Report

I went bankrupt in Oct 2009, and got early discharge in April 2010. I have just checked my Experian credit report, and three of my accounts are still showing as defaulted, although satisfied, but the dates are wrong. So I need to write to the companies and get them to change the dates, but I guess the defaults will stay on there.

There is also a default on there for a Max Recovery - which I have never heard of, and so do I write to them to get them to change the dates as well?

Also my bankruptcy is not showing up on the Experian report at all which I don't understand?

My credit score is 725 - which is apparently because of the defaults showing up. I am going to get my other credit reports as well to check on them and then will start writing letters.
