• Vishal Shah v. The Lloyd Pest Control Co.: a complaint filed May 8, 2024 in Santa Clara County Superior Court, summarized by Trellis as a class action alleging the defendant violated the Rosenthal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act through an electronic communication. The docket lists “Request: Dismissal” on July 11, 2024, described as “entire with prejudice by atty Lane” (the plaintiff’s attorney). No class certification or class settlement is shown; terms of any private resolution are not shown. Private suit, not a government action; not scored. Entity: the defendant name matches the BBB alternate name “The Lloyd Pest Control Co Inc”; Trellis shows no address, so the tie to this Lloyd rests on the name.²⁷
