How can I confirm which parking ticket this PCACALIF.COM charge is for?

Locate any recent parking tickets or notices and compare the amount and date to the charge on your statement.

Can I get a refund if I paid a parking ticket to Parking Company of America by mistake?

Refunds for parking citations are generally limited and depend on the policies of the city or property owner that issued the ticket. If you believe you paid in error, contact Parking Company of America/Advanced Parking immediately with your ticket number and payment details. They can advise whether an adjustment or reversal is possible or whether you must appeal through the issuing authority’s formal dispute process.

You can visit pcacalif.com and use the contact information listed there, which includes their Anaheim, California office address, phone numbers, and an email contact.([pcacalif.com](https://pcacalif.com/product-category/uncategorized/)) Provide your name, the last four digits of the card, the transaction date and amount, and any ticket or citation numbers so they can research the charge.

Why does my statement show PCACALIF.COM instead of the city or parking garage name?

Because Parking Company of America/Advanced Parking acts as the contracted parking operator and payment processor, your card issuer often displays their merchant descriptor—PCACALIF.COM—rather than the city name or individual garage. The underlying ticket or parking receipt should reference both the issuing authority and PCA or Advanced Parking.

What should I do if I don’t recognize the PCACALIF.COM transaction at all?

First, review your recent parking activity and check if anyone else with access to your vehicle could have received and paid a ticket.
