"This user is already assigned to another inactive content owner"

Hi,

I've been in talks with an MCN and have decided to partner with them. I've signed the contract and everything is, or was, good to go. That was until they tried to add me to their network. When they did so, they received the following message: This user is already assigned to another inactive content owner: TotalEclipse08 (that's my YouTube username).

After spending a few hours doing some proper research, I still couldn't really find a definitive solution to my problem.

Some useful information:

I've had my YouTube account since 2008
I've never partnered with a network before or had my channel monetized
I've never (as far as I'm aware) been involved with anything to do with AdSense
My account is in good standing and I have no bad history related to copyright issues

I found a similar thread on this website, which is why I've signed up and decided to make my own. The "solution" in that thread was to add the network representative as a manager to the account (I think I do this via Google+ settings?) and have them enable monetization by swapping out the AdSense link or something. While I've had my YouTube account for a while I'm pretty new to this side of it, so forgive me if I've missed something obvious.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and I'd be more than happy to give any more details that are needed upon request.

Thanks,

Total
 
Sorry for the bump, but I have no idea what to do here folks. Are there perhaps any other forums I should check out that might be able to help me?

I've honestly never touched anything related to AdSense, I haven't made an account ever.

EDIT: Appreciate the help so far guys.

That would be your problem then I think. If you have never created an Adsense account, there is no way you could be a full YouTube Partner. Ask the network you are trying to link to if this could be the problem; most want you to be partnered with YouTube directly before you link to them. It may be standard YouTube policy also; this would be why you are stated as an "inactive content owner" most likely.
 
Enable the adsense, then you join the network immediately. Adsense is known for the click bombing which can instantly make a channel doomed.

Harry,
He also has to enable monetization and sign the partner agreement plus attach his channel to the new Adsense account if I make no mistake. I joined the Partner Program when you still needed an invitation from YouTube.
