What happens if I sendBitcoin Cash to a Bitcoin address?
At this time, Coinbase has already credited accounts who received any BCH at their existing BTC addresses. Going forward, we cannot guarantee that funds will be properly credited when one asset is sent to the address of a different asset. Please make sure that you only send funds to the specific deposit address displayed in your Coinbase account for the asset you are sending. You can view a list of these addresses, or create a new one, by visiting this page.

If Coinbase already have this, I think there is nothing you can do.
Coinbase and other centralized wallets and exchanges are so wise, if the amount is high, you might (I am not certain because it is Coinbase that will give you most valid information about this) be given back your coin, especially if they know that the amount is high to the extent the victim can file a law suit against them (Coinbase).
For low amount, the coin is gone. (I hope someone can post the minimum amount that can be sent before Coinbase can refund the person. I think I have seen that before in the past).
To have full control, use a reputable noncustododial wallet.

How can they be helpful?Can they see the transfer even though it's not in my account in Coinbase? They said they could do nothing I guess I have no rights to try get them to help me? They were the receiver (Coinbase) and it was another homepage I sent from. It's a 6-700 USD. Shit, okay, so I guess I can't do a thing.

This is one of the downsides of using a centralized wallet or anything centralized partaining to bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.
Supposing you are using a noncustododial wallet, you will have its private key, you will be have the full control of your coins as you have the keys, you would have also been able to recover the bitcoin cash.
This is as simple as saying the bitcoin cash is with Coinbase (as they have the private key to the address they give you to be using to receive coins) but they are not ready to give you your coins probably because the amount you sent is small.

You can't recover the funds if you don't have the private keys. So unless Coinbase decides to help you out, there's sadly nothing you can do.

A while ago I sent some Bitcoin Cash to Bitcoin address. My wallet was in Coinbase and Coinbase received no information.
The place I send it from said they could do nothing and Coinbase the receiver said the same
I only have a URL link to confirmations url to blockchair/blockchain.com is it possible to get my money legally?
