When you made request to wrong blockchain address mostly it can't be recovered at all.
However you said you made withdrawl by using third party service. They can handle the situations like this easily but you might have lost if you made this transaction with your hardware wallets.
I already got my BCH back  Thanks for your reaction anyway |

I accidentally made a BCH withdrawal to my BTC adress instead of sending it to my BCH adress. So i won't surprise you i didn't receive it yet. Well several newbies recently have been making this mistake and sending BCH to a BTC wallet. Your coins will be lost forever if you do so. Since both of them are different currencies and they are not same you cannot "mix" the two. Is there anything i can do about this? I read something about using a privatekey on your BTC adress to claim your BCH? Is this possible and how can i realise this?
I made the withdrawal from wex.nz to my bitpay account. The support team of wex sent me an email with the link of the transaction on blockchair. I also send an email to bitpay for support however i didn't receive a respons from them yet. You should contact support on wex.nz and bitpay explaining your situations to both. It depends on the website to take care of the issue. You cannot do anything about it. Let this be the first and the last lesson for you. Never send BCH to BTC wallet or vice versa, Never send OMNI tokens to Ethereum wallet and so on. Chances are that it can be claimed back. Do as TheUltraElite advised you. If you were in a control of the private keys (a wallet on your computer, a full node ideally) your chances would be higher, but still I would try to contact them. Whatever happens, and especially with TheUltraElite's comment on "several newbies" in the wider context, maybe it will console you to some extent to hear that the BCH team is (as I write this) working on the hard fork that will change their address format to make the mistake like yours impossible in the future... Thanks! i have already contact WEX en Bitpay and explained the situation. Wex was kind enough to respons with a link of the transaction on blockchair but they did not provided me with a direct solution of getting it back (maybe because this is out of their hands) Still waiting for Bitpay to respons. Keep y'all posted. I think that is a good idea from the BCH team, could save people a lot of trouble and money when they accidentally do the same as me. |

First of all you should move your BTC out from that address. After that you need just to export its private key and import it to any official BCH wallet! Please, do not miss the first step not to lose your BTC  Thanks a lot, i will definitely keep that in mind, don't wanne lose anymore money of course |

Well OP, i guess it is your lucky day. WARNING! THE NEXT PROCEDURE WILL REVEAL YOUR PRIVATE KEY ON YOUR DEVICE SO BE SURE NOT TO HAVE MALWARE. I suggest creating a new bitpay wallet straight after recovering the BCH. On bitpay mobile wallet app, go to settings -> personal wallet -> more options -> export wallet -> put a password there -> copy to clipboard. After getting a very long string, use SJCL demo to decrypt it. Put the password that you used on bitpay to the password field, then paste the long strange to the "Ciphertext" field. It should give something like this under the "Plaintext" field: {"coin":"btc","network":"livenet","xPrivKey":"xprv9s21ZrQH143K3PkFJNTnjrLPUMxfHbMLErmnea2xoTPU26KEdZHsu9cpVqqcui641Hjq4sQ7oycxh7UWSRALWDmSZsjXCJmgqJDUsGFiqWj","xPubKey":"xpub6DCEXCnvf13iV13dN6on3LPdQHqgk2JivfiGuhZvKpnMWfRPafMHaKBev5pVuhssR7fPBSevuZRML4U9b1mEacyPiJ8zhAKDxuwBoqwoQYt","requestPrivKey":"c326899ec07a6188f01c5bf6e252a7b7deb7876efcfbdc9a0c96997f778d7656","requestPubKey":"0310ede905976ea0a43c174dbe9ea320e6b851fb5fb0818ea82b4196d710c82f6e","copayerId":"217530644c7e059112a3979cc9c290d15ccc4c41fa745331e599819f82e87fdd","publicKeyRing":[{"xPubKey":"xpub6DCEXCnvf13iV13dN6on3LPdQHqgk2JivfiGuhZvKpnMWfRPafMHaKBev5pVuhssR7fPBSevuZRML4U9b1mEacyPiJ8zhAKDxuwBoqwoQYt","requestPubKey":"0310ede905976ea0a43c174dbe9ea320e6b851fb5fb0818ea82b4196d710c82f6e"}],"walletId":"0e35a5ca-fba1-4b21-b786-c8d8df444861","walletName":"Personal Wallet","m":1,"n":1,"walletPrivKey":"3a3eb46e3ffd138a5f30622f8dde9386af459002e77e27457e2cdec0a63315ce","personalEncryptingKey":"EeK/KwqfPBy8DtO63CYhjw==","sharedEncryptingKey":"O/BSl9i+98dKT2kUb2DEwA==","copayerName":"me","mnemonic":"view hope impose control wood bamboo scrub seed catalog tooth canyon zero","entropySource":"8affc9a9cab00b6c947dc9255cb2756d233bc2667f74da006aff8152c4042100","mnemonicHasPassphrase":false,"derivationStrategy":"BIP44","account":0,"compliantDerivation":true,"addressType":"P2PKH","addressBook":[]}
as you can see there is "xPrivKey" field at the beginning of the plaintext, copy paste that and download Electron cash. Then open it, press create new wallet -> standard wallet -> use public or private keys -> and paste the xPrivKey there which in my case would be: xprv9s21ZrQH143K3PkFJNTnjrLPUMxfHbMLErmnea2xoTPU26KEdZHsu9cpVqqcui641Hjq4sQ7oycxh7UWSRALWDmSZsjXCJmgqJDUsGFiqWj
then just press next, and your BCH should be spendable right away. Let me know if you have any more extra questions (it is a pretty technical guide), i did write this guide just for you so i hope it is helpful Thanks a lot for the quide, much appreciated i will look in to it when i am @ home and not @ work. I will let you know if it's succesful or when i have additional questions |

so my guess is 1LfqTBBFP the BTC address on topic here.
I'm not quite familiar with bitpay but I read that bitpay wallet user owns the key
if you have its privkey meaning you are in control of the address
you can simply use the same privkey and import into your BCH wallet
you need to ask bitpay how to extract a privkey of your specific address
Your quess is right, So i need Bitpay to reply badly.. When they do i will asked them what you said. I'll keep you all updated on what they sais and if they can and will help me. Thanks a lot everybody |

Oh wait. Good point. Im not sure if OP meant paid invoice or sending into the mobile wallet. I think that he should address this, before we proceed with the thread. If it's a bitpay invoice, only bitpay can access the funds but if he was talking about mobile wallet, then that would be alot of different. It was not an invoice from bitpay. I just needed some BCH on my Bitpay wallet to pay for something else. |

How can i get this private key and how do i use it for this issue?
Still waiting for bitpay to reply..
thanks
I should have mentioned that the one who owns the bitcoin wallet, owns the private key. So if you sent to bitpay, only they can access the funds on the private key. Bitcoin and Bitcoin cash use the same private keys, so you can still spend the funds and they are not lost. Bitpay support is fairly quickly in my opinion, so you should not have much of a problem with that. Thanks, i will wait for bitpay to respons and hope that they are helpfull... fingers crossed |

BCH and BTC are on seperate chains, so you'll need to manage to get your hands on the private key of the address that you sent the funds into.
Everything you can do is to wait answer from Bitpay team, and if they tell you that they cannot help you, then your BCH is long gone.
Best of luck, keep us updated about our situation.
