Warren Group, a Boston company that tracks local real estate, said Friday that because of “human error,” it mistakenly reported that fewer foreclosures were begun in September when the number actually rose significantly statewide.
In issuing a correction, Timothy M. Warren, chief executive of Warren Group, said it is the only data error the 140-year-old business has made in at least two decades.
Comments
Another error by Elizabeth Warren.
The Warren Group data is not accurate because foreclosure petitions are filed in the Superior Court as well as in the Land Court. There is a Superior Court Clerk's Office in each county. If the Warren Group is not counting the foreclosure petitions filed in each Superior Court, it should do so.
