Your credit score is irrelevant. Ignore it.

One is for £157 the other is £600 which I didn't use but because it was in my name I don't have any argument0

2011 should have fallen off your credit history in 2017 when it reached six years from registration. Is there any reason why it is still visible?
The 2013 default will remain visible until 2019. How much is the default for?
Are you looking at recent copies of your credit files? You need to check all three regularly.

I checked my report this morning still showing apparently the 2011 will come off in August very frustrating when I know I can afford the mortgage, I went with Natwest0

I assume Natwest declined the application? There are options out there for you, but you will need to find a good broker that understands impaired / adverse credit applications, to truly ensure you are ending up with a suitable lender.I am a Mortgage Broker.
