Update unavailable with this Apple ID

I can't update my any apps (both free and paid apps) i keep getting this error message: "Update unavailable with this Apple ID.

Update is not available with this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled." Wherein I'm using only one Apple ID. This is a brand new iPhone 5, I never request for a refund nor a cancellation on my purchases at all. I already logout of iTunes turned off my phone, log back in still getting the same error msg. My problem is how I will be able to update my apps?

iOS 7.1.1

Same issue here with Viber,Wechat & intstagram etc ,I have noticed that this error only appears to apps which we already have installed on phone(while updating ) or the apps which we installed before ,except for those which we have in purchase history "which have cloud icon next to them" I have been using same region for more than a year so I don't this this region issue ,I am facing this on both iPhone 4(7.1.1) and iPhone 5s(7.0.3) ,I had wechat installed on iphone4 but while downloading on iphone5s this message appeared then I deleted it on iPhone 4 to try from there but still same bad luck ,I tried resetting every thing even erasing the phone signing in and signing out but couldn't fix it! But I didn't had any problems downloading the apps which I had in purchase history,(AppStore >updates>purchase history )I think this could be fixed by restoring purchase history but that's not an option since we purchased apps and I guess It can't be done either the only temporary fox I see is that we try using a new Apple ID for particular apps until Apple fixes this issue
