LoanShopOnline/DMS Marketing

I sent LoanShopOnline/DMS Marketing/LTS Marketing, whoever they want to go by, an email requesting that they mark my account paid in full. Although they weren't very happy about it, they have sent me the below email and release document. The release document has alot of legal language in it and I was hoping that someone could review it for me to make sure I wasn't signing something I didn't want to. They are willing to refund some of the overpaid fees, which I'm good with, but I wanted to make sure this could close the account and I would not be hearing from them again. I'm not sure why they couldn't make it that simple and just say that!

Emails from them:

Please be advised that we have reviewed your account and the request to refund you $XXX dollars. Upon approval and acceptance of the loan, you were thoroughly advised of the terms and conditions and there by agreed to them. We understand your concern as to the amount that you have paid in total.

The first thing I noticed was that my name wasn't even on the release document. I've emailed them back already about this. The "Borrower" they showed was not me, but I XXX'd it out for privacy purposes. Is there anything else I don't want to agree to?
