If you have followed the procedure correctly then there is a problem between MultiBitHD seed and ElectronCash wallet.What you should do is to download Electrum Bitcoin wallet and try to use seed from MultiBitHD to get your BTC in Electrum Bitcoin wallet.Then use seed from Electrum to claim BCH(I do not know why you use ticker BBC).

For safety measures you should not use that Electrum seed to claim BCH until you send your BTC to new address.There is full guide how to do it on safe way,just check in Electrum topics.
Hello, i have the same issue with electrum, it shows 0. mBTC.
However if i use the same passphrase with multibit it shows me my correct amount of BTC.
I do however had it password protected and i have some numbers with / to
like for example 1234/56 i don't know what that is for, but i wrote it down next to my seed also so it must be of some importance.
Hope you can help my in figuring out what is wrong.

Thanks in advance.

Maybe is problem in derivation path,I was thinking that seed from MultiBitHD in Electrum Bitcoin/Cash will create your private keys/addresses but by this post of HCP https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1938149.0 this is not a case.Maybe he can help you more regarding that.

So if you want to transfer your BTC from MultiBitHD to Electrum best way is just to send coins in transaction so you will have new wallet protected with seed which you can use to claim BitcoinCash.

That numbers are probably a password for you MultiBitHD wallet.
