Warren Heilman brought suit against Charles Kilpatrick, Creative Underwriters, Inc., and Foremost Insurance Company, alleging that he applied to Kilpatrick, a licensed insurance agent, for insurance on his motor home, including collision coverage; that Kilpatrick prepared the application for him on a form furnished to him by Foremost through its general agent Creative Underwriters; that he tendered a check for the premium to Kilpatrick, which was negotiated by him; and that the motor home was subsequently destroyed in a collision but the insurance policy was never issued and the claim was not paid. The jury returned a verdict in favor of Foremost but against Kilpatrick and Creative Underwriters, and Creative alone appeals, contending that its motions for directed verdict and for new trial should have been granted.

We reverse with direction that final judgment be entered in Creative's favor in accordance with its motion for directed verdict. CPA 50 (e) (Code Ann. 81A-150 (e)). Although there is evidence which would support the inference that Creative, as well as Kilpatrick, may have misplaced an additional questionnaire, or correspondence related thereto, which was necessary to the coverage requested, and that this was the cause of the insurance contract never coming into existence, the evidence also demanded a finding that Creative never dealt with plaintiff, never purported to act on his behalf, never made any representation to him, never induced action or nonaction on his part, and never owed him any particular duty with respect to the application. Creative was the agent of Foremost by written contract with authority to approve or reject applications, bind coverage and issue policies, and was acting solely for Foremost with respect to this transaction. Consequently there is no basis upon which it may be held liable to the would-be insured. Ga. Ins. Service v. Wise, 97 Ga. App. 461 (103 SE2d 445) (1958) and cits. on p. 464; Sutker v. Pa. Ins.
