    If it displayed your account details along the lines of 9XXXXX85 then the breach of data protection doesn't really put you at much risk.

    Regarding the 10%.... I would definitely ask for something a little better, the worst they could do is say no.

    Other than that you can report it to the data protection commissioner to have it investigated. Probably won't amount to much though.
