I bought an iphone 7 about 6 months ago from online. It has an activation lock on it but not reported stolen. Can this be cleared somehow?

It cannot be checked. Apple won't help you. We cannot help you. The iPhone is utterly useless unless you can reach the previous owner who the phone is locked to.
