Updating credit reference files

Any one help me??? My first posting, so be nice. :-)
I have followed Martins advice on how to get your credit file for free. But there are a few things that I want to be put right., i.e an old debt that has been paid but is listed as defaulted, and an item that is listed as defaulted but is actually being paid by a mutual agreement.
Any idea where I could find a template for a letter to inform these companies, and the credit agencies, that I wish the details to be up-dated.
Hope some one out there can help.
Thanks.

    Hi

    As I understand it, defaults stay for 6 years, but that the debt should be marked as fully satisfied.
    If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing
