Late payments

Hi all, Long story short Iv been in a big of a mess with credit. Managed to get on a DMP 2 years ago and start paying it all off. 

I have a question. Lots of the loans have defaulted (still paying off even though they have defaulted) but on a monthly basis there are 3 loans that are leaving late payments still in my file, I think this is because they havnt defaulted but are still in arrears. The balance of the 3 loans combined is around £3,500,

I have the money in the bank to clear these debts that are leaving the late payment monthly, would it be a idea to get these 3 paid off to start building credit as no more late payments would be left? 

Thank you guys
