Unexpected letter

We have a mortgage with Halifax and they recently sent us a letter to apologise because when we took out our mortgage we were not informed that if interest rates rise then the interest they charge us (variable) would not be capped.
So as an apology they have paid £2,500 off our mortgage.
I thought ooh thank you very much but now I'm wondering if that means they intend to charge interest through the nose when they start to rise and this payment was to soften us up before the blow.
What do you think?
