I believe the answer is:

titicaca

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'remote lake' is the definition.
'titicaca' can be an answer for 'lake' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'remote' bit.

'repeatedly brought up with two accounts raised' is the wordplay.
'repeatedly' says to double the letters.
'brought up' is a reversal indicator (in a down clue, letters go up).
'with two' becomes 'it' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'accounts' becomes 'acac' (two ac abbreviation).
'raised' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (going up in a down clue).
'it' back-to-front is 'ti'.
'acac' in reverse letter order is 'caca'.
'ti' doubled is 'titi'.
'titi'+'caca'='TITICACA'

'it's' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for titicaca that I've seen before include "Large Andean lake" , "Large lake bordering on Peru and Bolivia" , "Large lake on the Peru-Bolivia border" , "World's highest lake, between Peru, Bolivia" , "high lake" .)
