Why is my policy with the Franklin Agency?

Your policy was transferred to the Franklin Agency after the relationship with your current agent changed and they no longer represented The Philadelphia Contributionship or Germantown Insurance. In some cases, depending on what state your property risk is located in your policy may have been transferred automatically to The Franklin Agency to avoid a non-renewal and a lapse in coverage.
