Help Peter Aquino Fight to Protect His Family

Peter Aquino, a hardworking builder and father of two young children, had his life turned upside down by Oak Capital, a $700 million private lending firm currently being sued by ASIC for unconscionable conduct. After missing just one loan repayment, Oak Capital sent intimidating strangers to his family home, leaving his wife and two small children terrified.

But this fight isn’t just about Peter. ASIC has flagged 47 other victims of Oak Capital’s predatory practices. Many of them are too broken, scared, or financially devastated to speak out.

Your support will:

✅ Help Peter cover mounting legal costs to hold Oak Capital accountable. Every dollar will go directly towards fighting this battle in court to protect his family. Without support, Oak Capital will win simply because Peter can’t afford to fight.

✅ Empower other victims to come forward and share their stories.

✅ Shine a light on unethical lending practices impacting hardworking Australians.

This isn’t just about Peter- it’s about standing up for families, small businesses, and a fair financial system.

Every donation counts. Thank you for standing with Peter and helping create real change.

The Full Story

Imagine this: You’re a father, running a building business you’ve worked tirelessly to grow over 20 years. You’ve done everything right- trusted your advisors, signed agreements in good faith, and poured your energy into building homes for Australian families.

Then, after missing just one loan repayment, intimidating strangers show up- not at your office, but at your family home.

Your partner is home alone with your one-year-old and three-year-old children when these men arrive. They aren’t wearing uniforms or carrying paperwork. They look like bikies.

Your partner, clutching your children, is terrified as these strangers hand her a blank business card with nothing but a phone number and leave without explanation.

This isn’t a scene from a movie. It’s what happened to Peter Aquino, a respected Melbourne builder, at the hands of Oak Capital, a private lending firm now being sued by ASIC for unconscionable conduct and predatory lending practices.

A Bigger Problem: 47 Silent Victims

Peter’s story isn’t an isolated case. ASIC has flagged 47 loans where borrowers have been pushed into financial ruin, intimidation, and emotional trauma by Oak Capital.

So why haven’t these victims spoken up?

• Some are too scared.

• Some are too broken.

• Some simply can’t afford to fight back against a corporate giant.

Peter is fighting not just for himself, but for every single one of them. He wants to be the voice they currently can’t find.

Why Your Help is Critical

Fighting a company with $700 million under management isn’t something Peter can do alone. The legal fees are already piling up, and while Peter has a strong case, if he can’t keep fighting, he and his family risk losing everything.

But Peter refuses to give up.

Your donation will:

✅ Help Peter continue his legal battle against Oak Capital.

✅ Raise awareness about predatory lending practices devastating Australian families.

✅ Empower other victims to step forward and seek justice.

This Fight is About More Than Money- It’s About Doing What’s Right

No family should ever have to feel unsafe in their own home because of corporate greed and intimidation tactics. No parent should have to explain to their child why scary men are at the door.

This isn’t just Peter’s fight- it’s a fight for every hardworking Australian who could fall victim to these unethical practices.

Every contribution, no matter how big or small, brings us one step closer to justice, accountability, and change.

Let’s show Oak Capital, and every other company like them, that Australians won’t stand by while families are torn apart.

Thank you for your support, your compassion, and your belief in a fairer system.
