iPhone 6 stuck on activation lock

I had recently been given a phone but once I had reset it (the owner had logged out of the phone) I get stuck on the Activation Lock screen. The owner says that was the only Apple Device they had. I try to login with my own Apple ID and it doesn't allow me to. I even try to use Quick Start with an iPad that I had setup, and still get on this Activation Lock, I even tried using Apple Devices an it shows "An error occurred while trying to activate your device (Eject)" Any help will be appreciated.

Have the seller review the following sequence (can be done remotely), and perform any steps missed:


An iPhone 6 isn’t going to be all that useful generally, as it is limited to iOS 12; seven versions and seven years back.
