<p>I had around 20 BTC on my blockchain.info when bitcoin-cash forked and so after the fork I exported my seed and pasted it into electro-cash in order to receive my BCH (done it before and it worked) but when i synced it I was greeted by zero balance with a ton of transactions from 2016/09 to 2017/07 so there is no history after the fork nor the BCH</p>

Can you provide some more detail, such as a receiving address that you expected to hold coins at the time of the fork?

If you're indeed using electron-cash you should not have a transaction history. Are you sure you're not using electrum ?
