Unfortunately Vodafone UK can't help with unlocking a phone not supplied directly to you. Edited.
They could only help if you picked up a Vodafone Payg sim card in the UK and used the iPhone in the UK.
I assume you don't know anyone in the UK you could ship the iPhone to so they could unlock it and then send it back.
The original owner would need to ask for it to be unlocked of you don't know anyone in the UK.
Also iPhone's now supplied directly by Vodafone UK are already unlocked.
Perhaps look at a reputable online unlocking site or Highstreet Store that advertises they unlock phone's @Dengo
Or sell the phone and buy one that is already unlocked.
I assume its not locked due to its imei being locked due to a report of it being lost or stolen. If so Vodafone UK won't unlock it for anyone apart from the person who asked them to lock it.
I wish you all the best with this.
