can I use my second hand iphone 5s without the user taking off icloud because I don't have any details and its making me mad because this is such a silly idea plus I don't see how you can loose a phone

iPhone 5s, null
Nothing. Without the previous owner releasing it from his iCloud account, it will remain in Activation Lock forever. It is totally worthless to you.
so what your saying is I have been bumped off
Yep. You got ripped off. There is a very real possibility it's a stolen phone. If you can't contact the seller, and you did not purchase it through a service that provides some kind of buyer protection, turn it over to the police. It's a brick.
You could still get some functionality out of the phone using a Dns server. You can take pictures, browse the web, check your email... But you are still pretty limited. There are ways to bypass the icloud lock, but there is a small chance that they will work. I would just sell it on ebay. Maybe someone could scrap it for parts or something.
No. You can't. Activation lock can not be bypassed.
