Defaults on credit file satisfied by DCA

Hi there,
I have 4 defaults on my credit file from 2013. Rightly or wrongly I decided to ride them out and they should drop off in 2019, (a fifth one has already).
Being in Scotland these became statute barred last year. Two of the DCAs have reflected this on my credit file and changed the account balances to zero and their status to 'Satisfied' in March and May 2018.
My question is, because they did this last year, will this mean they will continue to appear on my file for another 6 years from the above dates?
Thanks in advance:)
