Defaults on credit report

Hi,

I have some defaulted acounts on my credit report.

I am 3 years into an IVA and paying them off. How long will the defaults remain on my report? Can I remove them?

THanks!

    They stay on for 6 years, and will drop off your credit report around the same time as your IVa comes off, i.e. a year after you finish your IVA. Unfortunately they cannot be removed.
