My 5 defaults expired 8/19 and don't show on credit file

I am now in a position to make offers on them all. of around 60%. They all have about 4yrs of agreed payments left.
If there agree the partial settlement will this show on credit file as the defaults have dropped off

    None of the payments you make will reflect on your credit files any more.

    Lowball your offers starting at 25% of the current outstanding balance.
