Nationwide Dumping All Non Standard Lines?

[nyc2phi]

Harleysville was a great Erie like carrier until they got bought out. My buddy has an agency with them and after Nationwide bought them it all went south, they literally weren't accepting new business for a while

I thought Harleysville always WAS a Nationwide company.

And by the way, they've taken a huge increase on contractor's liability in NYC. I've actually saved a few clients tens of thousands by placing them in E&S.

They were their own independent company which got bought out by Nationwide. They don't write contractors in NYC anymore so it would make sense for them to take rate and get rid of their existing book.

You previously said that you don't even want them. Perhaps just let them get non-renewed and wish them well?

If I can find someone for them but its not like I have all day to worry about them. Chances are half will have cancelled for non pay before the expiration.

Can you at least charge agency fees?
