Thousands of Cook County homeowners may have received notices from their banks that they owed money on tax bills they’d already paid, based on a computer glitch by a national data firm.
The erroneous notices went out to home mortgage customers in recent days, warning that the homeowner owed money on their second-installment property taxes, which were due in December. Some notices stated the homeowner’s bank would pay the delinquent balance and assess fees and interest to the customer.
