Cant update apps

I recently just bought a MacBook Air, I have 4 apps that needs to be updated on my Mac and when trying to update them it says "Cannot be updated because it was refunded or purchased with a different Apple ID". I don't have any other Apple ID and I don't know how to fix this problem.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

The work around is to delete the apps and download them signed in with your current Apple ID.
