Volkswagen Fox paint is bubbling and pealing off back panel

Car: Volkswagen Fox
Variant: 1.4
Model Year: 2010
Categories: Leaks & Noises
Wondered if anyone else has this problem. The blue paint at first bubbled and then pealed off the rear side of my year old Fox.
VW garage have said its because there's a tiny stone chip and this has caused the paint to fall off so not covered under warranty - but I don't buy this. Chip or no chip paint shouldn't fall of the car like this - the bare metal patch is approx 5 cm x 9 cm now.
Any advice appreciated.
