Promote Method returned an invalid Value for the Distributed transaction

Question

I'm trying to call a stored procedure in SQL Server with some parameters and the Procedure is suppose to return a message telling me whether it worked or not.

I have double checked my code and it all seems correct but I keep getting an error saying

The promote method returned an invalid value for the distributed transaction

When the call is executed. I could really use some help.

All my research says that it is related to the MSDTC. However, I have tried calling the procedure with the same values and same code in another Controller in my application, it's an MVC app, and I get the right message back without the error.

Am I wrong to assume that it is not the MSDTC because if that was the case, neither calls to the database would work regardless of the Controller.
