Philosophy

• The ITRC fundamentally believes that both consumers and businesses are victims of identity theft and fraud.
•  Prevention and reduction of identity theft will require education and cooperation between consumers, businesses, law enforcement agencies, and legislators.
• The ITRC believes that support and education of businesses has a strong positive impact on the restoration of victims’ lives, and the prevention of further identity theft. 
• The ITRC has consciously avoided legal advocacy as a method of forwarding its mission.
