👉 In legal terminology, a delinquent is a person who has not met their obligations or responsibilities under a contract, agreement, or other legal document. Delinquency can occur for various reasons such as non-payment of bills, failure to comply with court orders, or violation of personal laws. Delinquents are typically referred to as "non-performing assets" and may be subject to penalties such as fines, fees, or even imprisonment if they continue to evade payment obligations.
