I transferred my settings from my iPhone 6 to my iPhone 7, now when I come to update my apps it defaults to an old Apple ID not the current one. I transferred the contents of my iPhone 6 to my new iPhone 7 using iCloud. My Apple ID is correct in the settings/Apple ID, however when I try to download app updates it resorts to my partners old Apple ID (for which we no longer have access or the password). How can I make it go to my new Apple ID?

The apps should return from your backup of the previous phone, but you are going to need the password for the old ID if you have content from that ID you are trying to install.
