In itself its of no use but it can be used to get more information. They have collected account details which means they have an email address. They can then do what they call 'phishing'. They email you with a letter that looks like its come from your bank, telling you there has been a security breach. They verify themselves by giving you your sort code and the last four digits of your card number. They then ask you to confirm who you are by filling in the final details they need to access your account.
