Bank of America moved to re-start foreclosures today, moving to resubmit paperwork for 102,000 cases and effectively ending the moratorium it enacted to give it time to look for errors, the Wall Street Journal reports. A BofA spokesman said that so far "no cases" of improper foreclosures have been found, calling the move "an important first step in debunking speculation that the mortgage market is severely flawed." The foreclosures involved affect 23 states, and should resume in November.
