Transferring data from Old Phone to new phone, it is trying to transfer the data from the previous user's icloud info. How can I stop this in order to activate the new phone?

I was using an iphone that was borrowed until I could purchase a new iphone. After activation, I was transferring data from Old Phone to new phone, but it is trying to transfer the data from the previous user's icloud info. How can I bypass this in order to activate the new phone, other than activating it as a new phone?

You need to sign in to the new device with your own Apple ID/password.
