Hi, How did you get it back. I have a similar problem. your help will be highly appreciated.

If you sent BCH to a BTC wallet, and you have access to the private keys for the BTC wallet, you will be able to retrieve your BCH by importing the private keys into a BCH wallet.

If you sent BCH to a BTC wallet, and you DO NOT have access to the private keys for the BTC wallet (ie. an Exchange wallet) you will need to get assistance from whomever controls that wallet (ie. The Exchange) to retrieve the BTC for you.

I accidentally Sent Bitcoin cash to a Bitcoin Wallet from bittrex to other Exchange Is there anything I can do to recover my Bitcoin Cash ?

from bittrex
You have sent BCC to a BTC address, these wallets have addresses that validate to each other, but the wallets are not compatible for receiving coins. You'll need to research how to remove a private key from a Bitcoin address and import it into a BCC wallet to recover these coins. You may want to contact someone from the BCC community for help. We can be of no further assistance on this issue.

from other Exchange say

our wallet is not a private wallet but a temporary wallet that does not provide Private Key (we are an Exchanger not a private wallet provider)

While most exchanges don't bother recovering wrongly sent BCH, usually exchanges keep a history of deposit addresses, thus should have access to the corresponding private keys. So that's a rather weird response from an exchange to make and I would stay clear of them in the future.

If the receiving exchange won't help you, however, I'm afraid you're out of luck as they are the only ones that could possibly recover your BCH.

Have you got back your bitcoin? Please tell me

not bitcoin but bitcoin cash still no

Wasn't their rule that for transactions under 5000 USD they don't bother? (they probably do.. but keep it for themselves at some point?)
edit: Just noticed you sent from Bittrex to another exchange, you're at the mercy of that exchange..unfortunately.

yes unfortunately no update
