Right, as long as you either exported your Bitcoin to your own wallet
   or your Bitcoin was deposited in an exchange that assured its customers
   that they would not claim the BCC themselves but hold it for users,
   then you are fine. If, OTOH, your Bitcoin was deposited in an exchange
   that alerted its users to withdraw their Bitcoin to their own wallets
   of they wanted it, and you did not withdraw in before the fork then you
   are probably SoL.

     There's no need to claim BCH. It's there, and will be there until
     spent.
     Me, I won't until the price goes up. It's "flippening" insurance.
