Removing Lines if value exist in first file
I tried a few ways to resolve this using a bash script w/ a loop, no luck.

File1: roughly 6,000 account numbers such as:
1111
1512
1113
123

I also have a dozen or so csv files, w/ the account number in the 4th field. What I would like to do is remove all lines if the account number is contained in File1.

So file looking like this:
1,55,John,2000,abc
1,55,Jane,1113,abc
1,55,Smit,9565,def
1,55,Phil,123,adf
1,55,John,205480,sdf

Would end up looking like this:
1,55,John,2000,abc
1,55,Smit,9565,def
1,55,John,205480,sdf

Any help would be appreciated!
