Hello Oxjoel,


We understand you purchased an iPhone with an Activation Lock from the previous owner. We'd be happy to provide information.


For this issue, the following resource should help: How to remove Activation Lock Specifically the steps under "If you bought the device from someone else" will guide you on what to do.


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!
