I would have gone down to the bank in person with the receipt and spoken to the manager as soon as I realized what had happened.
If you originally intended to deposit $4,000 into account A that you use all the time, did you ever transfer that money back into account A from when they wrongly deposited into account B? Did they correct that and transfer it back?
Bank defensively -- assume they are idiots and never take their word for 'the money is there'. Go online and check your balance yourself.
If I were you I'd get all the paperwork together, including the original receipt of deposit, and go down to the bank and talk to a manager. Be nice (even if you don't want to be). If you go in all pissed off they'll be less likely to help you. If you go in all pissed off saying '**** you' . . . well, you'll be the loser for sure. If you go down there and they told you to '**** off', what would your reaction be? Well, that's exactly how they'll react if you say it to them.
If it gets straightened out - or not - you can close your account and write some letters to the higher ups about the situation and how poorly it was handled.
