Most likely scenario is the phone is blacklisted in a pool of millions of others and OP is forever shit out of luck without using s deblacklister service AND an unlocking service to use on different carrier.

By the way you shouldn't need access to original account for unlock, just call T-Mobile and as long as the phone was paid off and the previous account owner isn't in bad standing with T-Mobile then they should help. I have don't this with Verizon years ago before their phones came preunlocked
