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.
Right. I neglected to mention that I use Electrum wallets. To use BCH, I'll need to get a suitable wallet, and import the keys. The BCH price crashed before I got around to it. I guess that I'll do it soon :)

Due to the economic and technical nature of Bitcoin and its blockchain its more than possible that the new fork, widely being called Bitcoin Cash, BCH or BCC, will overtake its rival fork now commonly called Bitcoin Core. The effect of this "flippening" could be nothing short of disastrous for those holding Bitcoin Core.
Since the recent Bitcoin hard fork we now have two Bitcoins: Core (the original) and Cash. When the fork happened those holding BTC (in their own wallets) were also able to claim an equal amount of BCC (for free).
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.
