You've left out context of the answer i quoted (which has since been deleted?). Ofcourse, if you don't own the private key for the bitcoin adress, you can't possibly own the private key for the same bitcoin cash adresss.

This is complete mis-information, yes BTC and BCH address are the same address format but they exist on a completely separate blockchain.

Unless you own the corresponding private key on the other chain there is little chance of receiving the coins back, since it is almost impossible to generate the address you sent to.

If you have sent BTC to a BCH address your coins are lost.

BCH is not bitcoin it is an altcoin with it's own blockchain, it has been deliberately created by its creators to deceive people into thinking it is bitcoin.

```

This is not true, and is only the case if you do not own the private keys for the wallet you sent your BTC to.

BTC / BCH adresses are exactly the same.

Unless you've sent them to an exchange which is not willing to co-operate to get your funds back, you should be fine. Simply open up a support ticket, and ask them to get your BTC back you sent to their BCC adress.
