I have planted dwarf beans for the third time and once again as they reach a height of about 20 cm the stalks go brown and become very soft and the leaves turn yellow and the plant falls over and karks it. I don't think I'm over watering them but we have had a lot of rain of late. I need help please

Maybe bean fly (see comment below from brian)

It sounds like too much water. Are you growing them in a raised bed to improve drainage?
